Feldman in extended Just, Meantone, or Pythagorean

Marc Sabat has an interesting article up on NewMusicBox where he
discusses Morton Feldman's music and possible tunings of it. It
seems
the accidentals are weird. So, what was intended, Meantone,
Pythagorean or, as suggested by Sabat, a form of extended Just, which
has the greatest flexibility.

The article is here:

Also there is an mp3 of the Feldman piece being discusses, as well as
a
PDF of the score with some of the extended just ratio interpretations
decided upon by Sabat.

Interesting stuff...
