A Bach prelude in three different temperaments.

UPDATE 31 March 2022: Based on many comments and suggestions, I decided to make a series of three videos in which I explain some basic concepts relating to temperaments, provide demonstrations of intervals, chords, and short passages played in different temperaments, and discuss how temperaments enhance musical expression. The links to the first two videos are below, and I will update this notice when I post the third video. I am grateful for your input, and hope you will find these videos helpful!
