RE: What is Temperament?
Yes, temperament (tuning) used to be quite closely linked with the temperaments of people (emotions). That will be an article for a different day! It is really a pity that we have lost that over the centuries, there are so many skills and techniques that have been lost in the quest for "perfection".
Why not stimulate to re-learn the old techniques?
Yes, this is what the original vision of the Early Music movement is all about. Relearning and applying the techniques and knowledge that have been lost through time and the blind application of tradition without questioning.
However, we have also reached a point in the revolution where it has become quite popular, and has lost a lot of the experimental momentum and it starts to settle into a comfortable rut again...
SUPER! :)
