Hello Andrew,
Why are quartertones technically wrong?
Quartertones are wrong for harmonics (especially "natural" ones), because neither the finger position nor the resultant pitch are equivalent to equal-tempered quartertones. They are, at best, an approximation; and as I write music in just intonation, a misleading one that I avoid. But like I said: this is an example of a Stockhausen piece, and as he didn't care about tuning properly and I don't care about his music, I'm not going to invest the energy into doing it the right way.
