In a message dated 8/11/99 10:01:58 AM Pacific Daylight Time, you write: << The power I am speaking of is not measured in decibels, but rather in the degree to which a listener can be emotionally moved around. Music that brings an audience to tears is powerful music. >> Thta's what happened in Albuquerque. The Equal Beating Victorian that was heard in Milwaukee was received just fine and it was selected as the favorite of 5, including ET in Providence. The 18th Century Modified Meantone temperament heard in a previous KC Convention was also well received. But in Albuquerque, the powerful sound of the wolf key sent several angry people to Kent Webb. They demanded that this kind of thing NEVER be heard again! However, Timothy Farley RPT of Madison who has a piano dealership, tunes most of his pianos that way and has had many concerts of many different kinds of music, all tuned in 1/7 Comma Meantone. I wonder why no one ever complained about those? Bill Bremmer RPT
