Tuning

Keyboard instruments at Hammerwood are classically tuned, to permit a greater degree of musical expression. For more information, click here to listen to a recording of Ralitska Penkova performing two of Chopin's Nocturnes and his Piano Sonata No. 2, at Hammerwood in August 2016, on an 1802 fortepiano tuned in a variation of Werkmeister III temperament.    Click here and here for YouTube videos of more general explanations of the effect of unequal temperament on mood and emotion in music.
