Bohlen-Pierce
Symposium & Concerts
BOSTON March 7-9, 2010
All events are free admission
The Bohlen-Pierce scale was discovered independently by Heinz Bohlen,
Kees van Prooijen and John Pierce in the 1970's and 80's and has some
"lucky" properties making this scale increasingly interesting to
composers, theorists, mathematicians, cognitive psychologists and
instrument makers alike. Recently, a Bohlen-Pierce clarinet was
constructed by Canadian clarinet maker Stephen Fox; other acoustic
Bohlen-Pierce instruments include recorder, guitar, pan flute,
metallophone and a non-standard string instrument called the Stredici.
Lecture & Presentation participants include Georg Hajdu, Richard
Boulanger, Curtis Roads, Manfred Stahnke, Larry Polansky, David
Wessel, Clarence Barlow, Johannes Kretz, Elaine Walker, David
Liebermann, and many more. Keynotes by Heinz Bohlen and Max Mathews.
