Temperament

For hundreds of years, musicians, craftsmen, church officials, heads of state and philosophers fought heatedly against the introduction of 'equal temperament' tuning. This book features one of the fascinating stories in the history of Western culture - a story that culminated in the destruction of the harpsichord and the emergence of the piano.
