(22) Convention of November 16 and 19, 1885, regarding the establishment of a concert pitch.
What if it’s death march as the second piece and your want to tune lower, do you need to re tune your piano or do you carry your 2nd piano in your pocket?
Well, you don’t do that. You pick one frequency, in our case it was generally 442 Hz, and then you play the whole concert with that.
Re-tuning a piano can easily take an hour. And re-tuning an orchestra is just as well a multi-minute cacophonie. The audience would rather listen to a slightly too brilliant death march than that…
