Abstract
Tuning and intonation deal with the transformation of pitch symbols to frequency, while dynamics does so with the symbols of loudness that are transformed to sound pressure. Mathematically speaking, both transformations behave similarly to the situation with tempo. However, the conditions for tuning and intonation are much more complex than for tempo with regard to the semantics of pitch symbols. The dynamical situation is by far more simple, and we therefore have included this topic in the present chapter.
Opportunity is often missed because we are broadcasting when we should be tuning in.
