    Charpentier's tunings were probably closer to a well-temperament rather than a just-temperament so he could modulate more easily, though probably one different from Bach's (who himself varied temperament depending on things like the construction of the organ/harpsichord/piano)

      oh that's interesting. anyway, i think sibelius also had opinions about the character of the different keys, and probably some others. just-temperament is just too interesting not to bring up.
