I think the real debate should be among the performers, music historians, musicologists, the listeners, the critics...in that order, as far as "what temperament is appropariate">> Isn't any "debate" academic if the "listener" does not like or, accept, what is heard? If the "listener" does not accept or demand a particular sound all the 'academic' debate among the "performers, music historians, musicologists and critics", and even 'tuners', is just that......... 'academic'...... isn't it?? :-) Perhaps through efforts such as Ed's, now two!, CDs (congrats boy!) "listeners" will come more and more to accept or demand a return to the future past!...or maybe not....................... Well done ED..my check is in the mail. Jim Bryant (FL)
