Abstract: Using Beethoven's Variations for piano in F major, opus 34, the present volume questions whether tuning systems, other than that of equal temperament, were still employed in music of the early nineteenth century. Historical and analytical reflection as well as a discussion of historical keyboard instruments provide context for the study.
