That is the whole point of this discussion. Modern ears | have been inured by science. Last month's masterclass experience with a very | widely respected teacher from a major music school proves it, at least to me. | This professor/concert artist didn't even realize that the D he used to | demonstrate Beethoven passages had been tuned in a Young temperament. Even | side by side with the other piano in ET, he didn't notice the difference in | sound!! | | Regards, | Ed Foote RPT | So please explain why it is so important to tune in a different temperament if the experts can't even hear the difference especially against a piano in ET? ---ric
