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. | 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.

Many composers in Irta regard fixed pitch instruments as inadequate for capturing the nuances of intonation. | |||
