Interesting information, However, it seemed that this started with a question of whether or not Mozart, or Bach or anyone else specified a particular temperament. I don't believe that has been answered. It seems to me that a composer would write for the temperament in use at the time, having become used to its peculiarities. I do not foresee a composer writing their opus and then specifying that particular intervals be pure, or stretched to any particular degree. Am I off base here? Do modern composers chose to compose in ET, or if they want to compose in one of the HTs do they specify which one? Larry Messerly, RPT Prescott/Phoenix
