Mozart's Piano Sonata 11 in A Major (Alla Turca) in Meantone tuning

Thanks to a retuning by Gene Ward Smith to meantone tuning (I don't know which) you can compare this famous piece of music in the familiar 12 equal or what was arguably the standard tuning of Mozart's day, meantone.

So here is the online playable re-tuned version

and here is the online playable version in "normal" 12 equal

Both versions are downloadable from here: (about 34 megabytes)

Actually, it's in 1/4-comma, whereas 1/6-comma would have been more authentic. In Mozart's day, people used various approaches to tuning, but Mozart was pretty conservative about that. Certainly, this particular piece is within the compass of twelve notes of meantone.
