 Classical and Romantic music are very similar to our timeline.
-Triadic polyphony in Irta evolved mainly from folk adaptations of Second Remonitionist polyphony, with melodic tendencies as in our timeline's "expressive intonation" resulting in a roughly 12 tone division of the octave. A notable difference is that the piano isn't as prominent -- in contrast, string ensembles and voice are given precedence which makes the classical idea of intonation in Irta much more fluid than in our timeline, with theorists often acknowledging subtle variations of a note, and there are various proposals to explain intonation in Irtan classical music.

There are regional differences in intonation too unlike in our timeline; the further east you go the sharper the fifths and leading tones become.
 Many composers in Irta regard fixed pitch instruments as inadequate for capturing the nuances of intonation, and these composers mostly write for strings, voice, and trombone. Some developed cross-fingering techniques for woodwinds to better approximate expressive intonation.
