Hello,
Please forgive my ignorance! I already read some informations about it, but I would like to have you advices about the temperaments to select on my electronic organ following the works played.
I know that it's a bit "silly" as you play with what you have nowadays on real pipe organs, but anyway, if I had a "time machine" and I could really be in 1712 or 1624... what would be the corresponding temperament of my instrument?
So, on my Cantorum VI, I have these:
- equal (I understand modern)
- meantone (for which period?)
- werkmeister (III I suppose, Viscount says "late 1600")
- kirnberger (Viscount says for Bach works and german baroque composers)
- pythagorean (Viscount says from Middle Ages up to the 15th century)
I know temperaments could change between geographical areas and organs, but could I have your advice on these temperaments anyway?
Thank you very much in advance.
