'''Talman music''' traditionally uses extended just intonation (at least abstractly): intervals are viewed as rational frequency ratios, which have not only factors of 2, 3 and 5, but also 7, 11, 13 and higher primes which are not well-represented in Western European music. In contrast, modern Talman music uses various EDOs and other tempered scales.

Talmans traditionally preferred smaller ensembles; larger orchestras are a Romantic development.
