Announcing a new addition to my website devoted to historical temperaments.
http://rollingball.com/TemperamentsFrames.htm
The page now opens with a graphic timeline from 1500 to 2000, displaying
musical periods and composers' lifetimes. The time spans of meantone,
modified meantone, well, victorian well, quasi-equal, and equal temperament
are displayed. You can click on any of the six temperament types and see
thumbnails of representative examples of that temperament and when they were
documented according to Jorgensen. This makes it easier to visualize the
historical movements and to relate them to what the composers might have
heard in their childhood and how the composers probably had their keyboards
tuned. A lot of work went into a few integrated pages. Enjoy. Feedback is
welcome and encouraged.
