In 1882, Paul von Jankó invented a keyboard where any pattern can be fingered in the same way in every key, There are 88 key levers just like a normal piano, but each key lever has three key tops. The keys are arranged in two rows of whole tone scales offset by a semitone. They were produced by over 50 manufacturers. There was a Paul von Jankó Conservatory in New York dedicated to teaching it. Franz Liszt said of it "This invention will have replaced the present piano keyboard in fifty years' time!". Arthur Rubinstein said "If I were to begin my career anew it would be on this keyboard". Many experts and music educators of the time thought that the dominance of "the new keyboard" was an inevitability. An 1889 book stated "the victory over the old keyboard is now merely a question of time". But by 1920, they had all but vanished. The traditional keyboard just had too much inertia to overcome.

I'm taking a suspended chord voiced as follows and transposing it around.
LH: 1 5 b7 9, RH: 11 b7 9 11.
For example on D: LH: D A C E, RH: G C E G.

Video Feedback 2

This is an early tape of analog video feedback experiments which I created in 1981. Magnavox TV, RCA camera, RCA VHS recorder, mirror. The first VHS recorder released in the USA was in 1977. The feedback is video self-oscillation with screen glare from room lamps or a flashlight as the excitation input. The mirror made possible many interesting symmetries. The system was very unstable and somew...
Bitonal scales on a Jankó keyboard

C major scale in the left hand, various other keys chromatically parallel in the right hand. All keys have the same fingering, so playing bitonally is relatively easy.
