Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven, 1st Movement

Very interesting listening to this, for 3 reasons.
Diapason 432 and 2) temperament Vallotti&Young 3) Preset all pianos

The sound feels not thin but more ”fuller” than a well tuned piano, quite nice because I don’t feel it as out of tune.

However, pitch was not standardised in Beethoven's time, and national or international standards only began to emerge later in the 19th century.
Tests have shown that Beethoven's tuning fork resonates at 455.4 Hertz, over half a semitone higher than today's standard 'A' pitch of 440 Hertz.

So, would be nice to hear this piece in 455 Hz and well-tempered. Maybe this is the sound that Beethoven had intended us as performers and audience, to hear.

btw, I read that the 432 Hz music can be the power of healing, the tool for physical and emotional pains. It seems like its sound can release the stress bringing away negative thoughts. But it can also relax physical pains, among other things.
The ears play a very important role in this process, because they re-trasmit the sounds to the nervous system and via the nerves to the major organs.

Well, maybe that’s the reason why I liked your sound this time. It, 432, combined with Vallotti and Ptq, release the stress I have.

Good experiment! Thank you k.c. Paul

Meantone, yes - and Zarlino (Silent night) and one I don’t remember…
Anyway, as a compliment, the sound in this piece is exceptional, meaning different from all your earlier in my opinion, it has a particular quality, you are good at these experiments which you have proven with this sound again. And that’s why I felt something.

Those settings, how the parameters changes,how and which ptq soundcombi  at a special note a s o .

Listen to those 18 first seconds and left hand sound in the background, how the sound rolls out into a large hall, or as out in space in a moonlight night…. Here is the right sounboard impedance - long enough this time ( I often listen to details in my analyses) 

I like that feeling!  Thank you kc Paul!

Best wishes,
