Temperaments

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,

          Looking at the temperaments in the PTG archives, I am overwhelmed; 
and absolutely fascinated!!!
           Surely, when the master of the firey, L.V Beethoven wrote his 
Moonlight Sonata or the Pathatique or any of his genius works, he was writing on a 
piano with the temperament of his day. 

          Now, If I tune my piano, as a passionate fan of Beethoven to the 
temperament of that time, would I hear when I play his works, what he truly 
intended? Or would the difference be negligable / inconsequential between that 
temperament and our latest truly equal temperament?    Me thinks I would hear the 
nuances of going from the key of c#minor to the key of Emajor within a 
mouvement.   Seeking opinions and /or personal experience with this sort of thing.

         Also. business is finally, after 39 months, getting to be NOT hand 
to mouth anymore!  It's getting pretty good,  and (YippEEEE!!!) me thinks I am 
going to be able to afford to go to the Eastern Regional PTG Conference in 
2007. I am looking so forward to meeting my senors / mentors on this list, who 
have graciously advised and encouraged me with my piano questions!

Thank You!
