Well Tempered Tuning explained by Bach

The chords in space are simply gorgeous. Herr Bach's English is also remarkable for a man who never ventured outside of Germany....

Bravo ,Mr.Peter ! Through you I had the opportunity to participate live in a harmony lesson taught by the incomparable Master Bach ! Thank you !

A number of years ago, I stumbled upon some internet information about Bradley Lehman's idea that the curlicues at the head of Bach's "Wohltemperirte Clavier" (as Bach spelled it) title page represent his own unique tuning temperament. I became quite convinced. Since then, I have moved to a new area--where Mr. Lehman lives! I have met him! Wonderful bit of research. I am so glad you used it! (Bach's is not an equal temperament, which has been universally adopted for only a little over a century now, in which all the half steps are equal. [There are lots of different temperaments.] In the Bach-Lehman temperament, some half steps are slightly bigger than others, but all 12 half steps are coordinated to maximize the consonances in all keys, while yet preserving each key's individual character. In our modern equal temperament--which even Rameau favored some--all the perfect fifths are slightly small and all equally out of tune; it's ugly. In the Bach-Lehman temperament, all the fifths are much more in tune, quite more beautiful.)

well done...The part where the chords and the image behind underline the emotion is pure gold.
