In a message dated 98-03-22 13:23:05 EST, you write: << I don't think that there's a single tech on the list who EVER tried to say that the older composers-- Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Clementi, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, etc,-- used ET. That is NOT the issue. >> Oh yes they have said as much and it is very much the issue. You believe what you want to believe. I still don't believe most people can yet tune a real ET although there are many more now than 20 years ago. It's not that I think ET is "wrong", it's just that it is really mostly a concept or a goal that is rarely acheived but widely believed in. When it is acheived, it is perhaps not the wrong choice, but probably not the best one, so I believe. When it is believed to be acheived but it is really Reverse Well, that's where the big problem is. Those who believe their RW is ET believe with the greatest faith I have ever witnessed.
