source file: mills2.txt Date: Tue, 13 Feb 1996 07:06:19 -0800 Subject: Historical? From: A440A@aol.com After signing on this list, I have observed that non-traditional tunings are the major topic. Is this perhaps the wrong place to find those interested in restoration of 16th-19th century keyboard tuning practises for the music that was composed during that period? In non-cyber space, (i.e., real time world of stages, recording studios, musicians studios, etc.) I find more interest in the historical concept of "The Character of the Keys", than in any of the new extrapolations of what JI is and means. There is a lot to be learned from hearing Chopin's preludes from Op. 28 played on a DeMorgan Temperament, but if this list is the wrong place to find those interested, would y'all kindly fire up the flame throwers and melt the message in the snow.
