Summary / Abstract:

ENTunings and intonations in the Lithuanian traditional fiddling are analyzed. 14 archival recordings from 1930s are applied for the acoustical analysis. A huge variety in the individual tunings and intonations is found. Although the fiddles were tuned mostly in the standard way, i.e. in perfect fifths, the fifths are quite “rough”. The scales show a strong tendency towards the constituent interval equalizing, or, in other words, certain hybrid scales between the diatonic and equidistant ones are estimated. Concerning the temporal intonations, influence of fiddling motorics and the related influences of bowing force and pitch duration are discussed. [From the publication]
