Melcior Juncà

Melcior Juncà i Farré (Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Ripollès, 1757 - Tarragona, 1824) was a Catalan maestro de capilla, composer and music theorist. He was son of a musician, Jacinto Juncà. From 1798 to 1806 he was chapel master at the Cathedral of Tarragona. His treatise La Melopea desconocida describes a method based on speculative and practical division of the octave into twenty-four parts.[1]
