I am interested in how the composers of keyboard music themselves
considered the tuning of their instruments before ET and how that related
to tonality of key signatures, if they composed according to that, or if
they even perceived that. It might seem the logical place to start, are
Bach's notes on tuning for WTC, but there are none.........
