The Well-Tuned Piano

For the tuning, see Well temperament.
A 1987 performance of The Well-Tuned Piano in conjunction with Zazeela's The Magenta Lights was released on DVD in 2000.

The Well-Tuned Piano is an ongoing, improvisatory, solo piano work by composer La Monte Young. Begun in 1964, Young has never considered the composition or performance "finished", and he has performed incarnations of it several times since its debut in 1974.[1] The composition utilizes a piano tuned in just intonation.[2]

A typical performance lasts five to six hours.[3] Young's wife, the artist Marian Zazeela, has contributed the lighting work The Magenta Lights to these performances.[4] A 1987 performance of the piece was released on DVD in 2000. The Guardian described it as "one of the great achievements of 20th-century music."[1]
