摘 要:This article explores the use of innovatory tonal relations in the music of the American composer Ben Johnston (b. 1926). Johnston s use of a microtonal tuning system employing scales and intervals in extended just intonation is described, and passages from several of his compositions (especially String Quartets nos 2 and 5) are analysed to show the use of these pitch resources in practice. The article also situates Johnston s contribution in the context of older theories of harmony and the mechanics of pitch perception.
