Generation

Equal temperament tuning divides the octave into 12 equal semitones, allowing music to be played in any key without retuning the instrument. This standardization, which became widespread in Western music by the 18th century, enabled greater harmonic flexibility and made it possible for keyboards and fretted instruments to modulate freely between keys. While it involves slight compromises in the purity of certain intervals, it solved the practical problems of earlier tuning systems.
