Most likely I just stumbled on another named well tempered tuning when I modified Valotti/Young but I do not have a clue which it might be. So, prior to the recital I named it Don's Golden for the Goldbergs! After the recital - not so Golden. Anyway, there is always next year. They are talking about the Inventions for that recital.
I submit that this approach probably was more authentic than anything else could have been. I doubt that tuners of 200 years ago were following a written program, but rather, were simply following their ears to achieve an acceptable balance.
