different temperaments: empirical test

[Gregor _]

Israel,

it was an exam work from 1987 from a student of the university of Osnabrück, 
Germany, not published. The songs were each 10-12 seconds, 3 of them in C 
major and one in F# minor, so that the subjets had one song for which it was 
easy to recognize a very sharp third. One song featured more chords, another 
more melody and one was very complex.

The source is:

Hüne, Iris (1987): Hörexperimentelle Untersuchungen zur Unterscheidbarkeit 
verschiedener Stimungssysteme.
