We're going to be examining the contrast between performance in Equal Temperament and unequal temperaments, with focus on the "Well Temperament" available with Pianoteq known as "Kellner" and with access not only to Pianoteq but a number of original instruments in the collection. Among these are a 1885 Bechstein tuned in Kellner, an 1802 Stodart tuned in Meantone, 1817 and 1859 Broadwoods tuned to Kirnberger III and a 1905 Broadwood baby grand either tuned to Kirnnberger III or Equal.

However we will be relying specifically on Pianoteq for equal temperament, as well as showcasing a Chopin temperament by Prof.  Jonathan Bellman.
