Rather the contrary: I stated exactly the ways in which intervals in melodic (string) temperament vary from equal-tempered intervals. However, the major thirds are wider rather than narrower than equal. The semitones are smaller. The whole tones are somewhat larger. But these differences are not enough to mess up playing with a piano. One just plays flexibly. I haven't heard what you are talking about in old recordings of the Bach Suites, etc. I cut my teeth on the Casals set. Of course, he _did_ play out of tune, but not in the pattern you are talking about. I also listened a lot to Heifetz playing solo Bach. Nothing there that sets my teeth like meantone thirds and fifths, either. Susan P.S. And what does M. stand for, again? </html>
