The two pianists loved the tuning. <, Ah, yes, Ms. Burkhardt and Ms. Lim. The piece that really stuck in my mind was the "Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, by Clara Schumann. In fact, it is the reason that the next project I want to do is "Well-Tempered Clara". I thought her composition was an absolute killer in the tuning they used. It may be of interest to tuners considering adding a variety of temperaments to their offerings, that following that performance, I was asked to return to Washington University the following winter to spend a week maintaining a fortepiano in a Young tuning for Seth Carlin's Schubert recording sessions. I offer this as continuing evidence that a technician can profit by expanding their offerings! (which has been my message from the beginning). Thanks for the note.
