[CAUT] Goldberg Variations

[Paul T Williams]

Bilson likes Valotti. (or Young)  I've never tuned to Young.  How 
different are they?

Ed,
I concur with the Valotti-Young. Last semester we had Sr recitals one 
Goldberg and the other I don't immediately remember. Both were well 
"reviewed" by those in attendance.   (Martin double w double transposing)

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.

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!
Don
