Announcing a new addition to my website devoted to historical temperaments.
http://rollingball.com/TemperamentsFrames.htm
The page now opens with a graphic timeline from 1500 to 2000, displaying musical periods and composers' lifetimes. The time spans of meantone, modified meantone, well, victorian well, quasi-equal, and equal temperament are displayed. You can click on any of the six temperament types and see thumbnails of representative examples of that temperament and when they were documented according to Jorgensen. This makes it easier to visualize the historical movements and to relate them to what the composers might have heard in their childhood and how the composers probably had their keyboards tuned. A lot of work went into a few integrated pages. Enjoy. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.
