Tuning

I use new tuning in my most recent compositions, which I have invented – its name is Pure Tuning. I use it in newest piano and organ compositions; for example in the whole piano cycle 'Pure flowings'. CD 'A Trefoil From The Ice' is recorded on grand piano Petrof that is tuned in this tuning. I have also my own upright, on which I make live recordings, tuned in this tuning.
