Why I like the tuning

 My own piano (on which the recording was made) has been tuned this way for over 16 years. My first reaction after playing on it, was how clear and resonant it sounded. The notes seemed to float free in the room, whereas when I play a piano with equal-tempered tuning, the notes tend to feel glued to the keys, relatively speaking. My next reaction, after playing on it for half an hour, was that I somehow felt healthier.

After these years, my impressions, although less noticeable, have not changed. Certainly the tuning does not harm the music. Bach, Mozart, Chopin, not to mention my music, just sound even better.
