Equal temperament is a musical tuning system that divides the octave into a series of equal parts. The most common form of equal temperament is the 12-tone equal temperament (12-TET), which divides the octave into 12 equal semitones. This allows for a wide range of music to be played in any key with minimal tuning discrepancies, making it particularly suitable for keyboard instruments and modern music.
