Ausführliche und deutliche Anweisung zur Rational-Rechnung, und der damit verknüpften Ausmessung und Abtheilung des Monochords - Sorge, Georg Andreas 1703-1778 (Bad Lobenstein Sorge, 1749)
Sorge's membership in Lorenz Christoph Mizler's Correspondierender Societät der musicalischen Wissenschaften, to which he was admitted in 1747 as the fifteenth member after Johann Sebastian Bach, led to a number of disputes. The first of these was a dispute over a new tonal system introduced by Georg Philipp Telemann.The initial cause was a dispute over a new tonal system of dividing the octave into 55 microintervals introduced by Georg Philipp Telemann. Since Telemann had only formulated the general conditions of his system, the Society, which was very involved in mathematical questions, insisted on receiving the exact mathematical calculation from the author. Since Telemann was unwilling to do so and was obviously neither aware of nor interested in such calculations, Sorge presented these mathematical definitions of Telemann's system in his writings after a dispute with the Societät member Christoph Gottlieb Schröter.
