source file: mills2.txt Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1996 10:56:58 -0700 Subject: WTC From: Paul Rapoport When I suggested that no extreme tunings would work on WTC under normal assumptions, yes, I meant things like 1/4-comma meantone. I appreciate the comments on the tunings given by Ed Foote. I wonder if he'd comment on Werckmeister III for Book 2, or make other observations on this subject generally. (I agree that Werckmeister III on a piano is not something I'd like to contemplate except as an experiment, unrelated to this repertory.) Again, anyone know which tunings are used by Tilney, Leonhardt, or Gilbert in their recordings of WTC I and II (I know the title applies only to Book 1).
