The reason that JI and other high-dimensional tunings have been a mainstay in Talman music for so long was that no equal temperament of reasonable size supported all of the features that Talman composers desired.

The Early Windermere musical tradition was based on throat-singing. Primes higher than 5 may have come from an early tradition of throat singing where having a deep voice and the ability to throat-sing higher harmonics (11-14) clearly was seen as a mark of masculinity.

===Windermere imperial courtly music===
===Gweats Dynasty music===
Composer Tsăhong Tamdi's treatise [[Literature:Elements of Harmony|''Elements of Harmony'']], which describes Partchian tonality diamonds, came to codify Windermere imperial courtly music. In particular, he recommended against using fixed-pitch instruments, arguing that they were expressively limited. This recommendation was lasting in influence - most instruments used in traditional Talman music are flexible-pitch instruments.

This recommendation was lasting in influence - most instruments used in traditional Talman music are flexible-pitch instruments. Since Mărotłism banned the killing of mammals but not of fish, fish glue and hide glue could be used for repairs instead of hide glue. Hence fiddles could still be commonly used in imperial Windermere music.
===Fnüeng Dynasty music===
Later imperial courtly music used more general cross-sets and incorporated more folk music elements. Many choral, chamber and orchestral works from this period are considered part of the canon. The aesthetic was quiet and calm, somewhat like Renaissance music.

Thanks to the invention of the printing press, many works of music survive from the late Fnüeng dynasty period.

===Jopahite Period===
 
Tuning-wise, the Classical period used scales that [[Verse:Tricin/Etsoj Jopah|Etsoj Jopah]] discovered, such as C(n,k)-anies, Euler-Fokker genera and other CPS's; constant structures. Composers started to use effectively free JI, with more modulation, with each scale playing a role like the tonic.

After the Jeodganite Revolution, some Ngronaist sects such as Hyðahism required vegetarianism (thus fish glue was not allowed), thus effectively banning fiddles. This severely limited the repertoire of free-pitch instruments, thus motivating tempered scales for use with fixed-pitch instruments such as organs, harpsichords and pianos (of course, controlled with an isomorphic keyboard). Tempered scales thus became more common, and eventually 22-EDO was established in Talman music.


Nationalism was a strong influence during the Classical period - many Talman national anthems were written during the classical period.

===Vegetarianism and music===
Since Mărotłism banned the killing of mammals but not of fish, fish glue was used for repairs instead of hide glue. Hence fiddles could still be commonly used in imperial Windermere music.
