Sometimes when I hear a tune in my head, I would try to play it on the piano, only to realize that the pitches I heard do not correspond to any notes on the piano, since I am basing the tune on a key that is not found on the equal-tempered instrument. Then I would adjust my pitch to be in tune with the piano—but why do we have to do that? We are so used to hearing the equal-tempered pitches on the piano that anything else would sound out of tune. Imagine a dystopian world where all the pitches we hear are autotuned to equal-tempered A=440Hz notes. This is what is gradually happening as Western music seeps through the myriad of tuning systems around the world, resulting in an assimilation of tuning to the equal-tempered scale. The piece is a symbolism of this phenomenon, with the saxophone representing the tuning flexibility and the piano representing the claws of equal temperament. As the piece progresses, the saxophone gradually assimilates with the piano’s tuning, forgoing its colorful tones in the beginning.
