A Color-Coding of Partch's Ptolemy Keyboard Based on his Chromelodeon I
2008 |
','Image'))
|
| The arbitrary colour scheme used by the American composer Harry Partch for the microtonal keyboard he constructed, the Chromelodeon I, is transferred here to Partch's first-ever constructed instrument, the Ptolemy. The only record of the Ptolemy is a black & white photo. This colour print represents one "octave" (comprised of 43 distinct notes) of the Ptolemy keyboard as it might have appeared if given the same colour-coding as the Chromelodeon I. The Ptolemy was misplaced by Partch sometime in the 1940s. |
