Werckmeister I and III: Andreas Werckmeister experimented with temperaments in the latter
part of the 17th century. In Werckmeister I he further refined the Mean-Tone temperament.
In Werckmeister III, four tones are practically tuned identical to Equal Temperament (C, D#,
F# and A).
Young I and II: Young Temperaments offer further refinements to the Mean-Tone model,
except with slightly higher pitched sharps.
Equal: Equal Temperament is the modern standard which utilizes a succession of 12
semitones of equal size, allowing performance in all keys successfully. The fifths are slightly
narrowed and the upward thirds are considerably sharp, but unlimited modulation from key
to key is possible.
