Abstract in brief
A mathematical analysis of ancient compositions enables researchers to reconstruct the original tuning and intonation, revealing that ancient musicians favored pure intonation but also made slight deviations for tonal richness.
Ancient musicians understood the limitations of their fixed-length string instruments, like lyres, and adjusted tuning accordingly, especially in vocal performances to enhance musical complexity.
This approach to tuning and improvisation mirrors ancient atomic philosophy, which suggested that atoms sometimes deviated from expected behavior to increase complexity and produce unexpected effects.
