(The only time when I don't use it is when I'm playing earlier harpsichord music that was written for meantone.) I'm giving a lecture and two full-length harpsichord recitals in Chico CA next month, featuring all of this. Details here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/2007mar13.htm For any needing the offsets to do this electronically (I always do it by ear, no device), they're here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/math.html A (0), Bb (+3.9), B (0), C (+5.9), C# (+3.9), D (+2), Eb (+3.9), E (-2), F (+7.8), F# (+2), G (+3.9), G# (+3.9). Recordings are listed here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bpl/larips/recordings.html Brautigam's disc of Beethoven sonatas 4-7 there, on fortepiano, makes a good demo for any pianists who might want to hear what it's like on piano.... Robert Hill's disc of WF Bach's fortepiano music is forthcoming sometime this year, I believe: he sent me one sample track so far. Also, this page by Ross Duffin http://music.cwru.edu/duffin/Norton/Letter.html offers Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" plus some Brahms, Debussy, and Liszt further showing its flexibility, even in extremely chromatic music.
