Debussy Pour Le Piano, 1. Prelude in 11 EDT and 12 of 22 EDO tuning

Pour Le Piano, 1. Prelude by Debussy rendered in 11 notes per tritave (per 12th aka octave plus fifth) tuning. In some places the result is kind of muddy but in other places the trans-tuned version is surprisingly coherent and other worldly. Also I rendered a version using a 12 note hexachordal subset of 22 EDO (equal division of the octave). For those wanting to compare to the original I found this great rendition on youtube with harmonic analysis. Note: trans-tuning is a bit of an iffy prospect and requires overlooking the chaff for the wheat since after all, the original was written with a different tuning in mind.
