Temperament, A pianist responds

<<So let's go to the second movement in E major.  This key in WT is not a

terribly tranquil sounding key.  Rather, it is fairly active even in the

mild WT's such as Broadwood's.  In the Young temperament, it is a very

active, read dissonant, sounding key. << 

      Hmm,  Now I am confused about what tunings you're basing your responses 
on.   There is only .2 cents difference difference between this third in the 
Young(17.8cents) vs. Broadwood's "best" tuning(17.6). This difference is 
totally insignificant.  Is it possible that  your perception of "dissonance" 
is being affected by something other than the width of the intervals?
