Attached is a short Bach piece in the newly-discovered, highly mysterious
Wreckmeister temperaments, which were found in an old manuscript in an
ashcan in Vienna, buried under some scores of P.D.Q. Bach. If there's
still space, I'll upload a Beethoven example to the files section. In any
case, you can retune your own midi files, with the following Scala
sequences:

! [0, 7, 21, 28, 35, 45, 56, 63, 73, 80, 91, 101]
