Equal Temperament In this system, the octave is divided into twelve equal parts, making the interval between each half step identical and allowing music to be transposed freely between all twelve keys. The table below shows the ratios of all the intervals in equal temperament.

Equal temperament enables keyboard instruments, which are typically difficult to retune frequently, to play music in any key without significant intonation issues by dividing the octave into twelve equal parts, allowing musicians to freely modulate between keys without needing to retune the instrument for each key change; essentially, it provides consistent tuning across the entire keyboard, making it suitable for music in all keys. Key points about equal temperament: Consistent tuning: Unlike older tuning systems, equal temperament ensures that every interval on the keyboard sounds relatively in tune, regardless of the key being played. Freedom of modulation: Musicians can easily change keys within a piece without noticeable intonation problems due to the consistent intervals. Compromise in sound: While convenient, equal temperament slightly compromises the purity of certain intervals compared to "just intonation" systems, which can be more pleasing to the ear in certain contexts. read less
