Talk by R. M. Sillitto
For centuries musicians have tried, unsuccessfully, to construct an organ that plays harmoniously in any key. R. M. Sillitto, Lecturer in Natural Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh, describes the new organ devised for this purpose by Dr. A. R. McClure, and compares some pieces on meantone and equal temperament. The musical illustrations on the McClure organ (now in the University of Edinburgh) are played by Hetrick Bunney.
