Goldberg stays pretty close to G major. You might try Jorgensen's "Valotti-Young" well-temperament, which is Valotti transposed to center on G. This would generally give "repose" on G major and "spice" at the edges. Ed Sutton ----- Original Message ----- From: Donald McKechnie To: caut at ptg.org Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 4:12 PM Subject: [CAUT] Goldberg Variations All, Our harpsichord professor and students will be performing the Goldberg Variations on our harpsichords next month. She wants a well temperament that works for the Goldbergs. I have been tuning the Bach/Lehman but she does not particularly like it this work. There is some time to experiment with various temperaments but I though it might be helpful to query this list for some suggestions? Thanks!
