Using historical temperaments

By using a historical temperament when playing a composition suited for it, the beauty and tension of that work can be

brought out even more greatly. In particular, when playing a work that uses a modulation-capable temperament and

includes modulation, the sonority of the chords will change, adding subtle changes in the tonal character as the

composition progresses.

Werkmeister combines meantone and Pythagorean tunings to increase the freedom of modulation, and is used in works

ranging from Bach through modern times. Kirnberger was also conceived in a similar way, and is used mainly for playing

Bach’s organ works.

Meantone was popular throughout Europe during the Baroque period, and was used particularly in pipe organ

performance. It was also customarily used by Baroque composers such as Handel, as well as in works of the Renaissance.
