19 and Werck again

Right, Stick! that's why the passion just oozes when we write about our
intimate involvement with a specific tuning. It is not simply 12ET and
microtonal; there are myriads of tuning possibilities.

Each tuning does reveal more of itself upon repetition of the tuning in
different musical contexts. That's why I write passionately about Bach now,
after more than 25 years of personal involvement in performing and directing Bach
in with Werckmeister II tuning. Another tuning offers nothing new to the
music, only a modern aesthetic for just intervals. All the evidence fits this
so well, that one should be shaken at how exotic a position this still sounds
to those that have not heard it before.

And Tom is correct about what he says about getting Werckmeister from the
source and what he presented. (no reason to misrepresent Werckmeister to
further modern aims.)

We might all put on extra-analyzing glasses of a sort to magnify the
inconsistencies, foremost by misrepresentations of historical sources.

So, PLEASE let us resolve individually to continue to re-examine our own
biases and prejudices, and not only by accusing others of same. ;) Johnny
