This recording is in extended Pythagorean tuning. 120 tracks were used. All the music is Ives. No new notes or instruments were added. All of the directions given by Ives were obeyed to the letter. Nothing is missing from this piece. A once thought missing 4 measures by the composer was discovered to be substituted by a plug called Heaven and Earth on the last page of the sketches, at the very top, for piano. Other parts elided into and out of the plug.

It is in extended Pythagorean tuning, but there are written quartertones throughout. Also some eighthtones, just intonation.
