Very beautiful playing. I think the temperament makes it sound like it could be an old, historical recording of this music. Maybe it’s just my imagination.
A minor mazurka is particularly beautiful. The contrast between the sounds of the major and minor keys is so beautifully apparent. Also the wide minor 2nd E to F is emphasized in the modulation at 5:15 in such a nuanced way that is only revealed in unequal tuning. Oh and your playing is beautiful too. Did you tune the piano? Do you know how Thomas Young would have tuned without modern electronic tuners? Do you think he would have relied on listening to the beating as a measure?
Thank you very much for your comment and questions. Nice observation about that modulation. Yes, I tuned the piano myself, although I am just an amateur when it comes to tuning. While I don't know to what extent Young put his temperament theories into practice, I imagine that's probably how he would have done it-by feeling and counting the beats.
