Debussy on piano tuned to unequal temperament at Hammerwood Park

From the Hammerwood Park sound archive - proof that Unequal Temperament does no harm to 20th century music. This is a good temperament in which any key can be played. This was the confusion rife ever since Bach’s Well Tempered Klavier . . . This piano is truly Well Tempered and allows Chromatics to demonstrate their colours. Chromaticisation is more than merely semitonal sequences and chords - Chromatic refers to Colours . . . and Debussy can be played on an unequal tempered piano . . .
