Greetings,

A few years ago when I was doing research at the Danish American pianist
Gunnar Johansen's studio, I cam across a document relating to a seminar he
participated in in Wisconsin.  The subject was historical tunings and he
either performed on some or evaluated them from other performances.

I did not make a copy of the document at that time and I don't know where
the session was held.  Does anyone on the list remember such a session?  It
would have occurred in the late 70s or early 80s.  I would very much like
to get a copy of his comments on the temperaments used.

Many thanks in advance.
