You might go back and listen to the first F chord, the fourth note of the piece, in the quarter-comma tuning a few times, then listen to the same chord in any of the other meantone tunings. It’s weird to the point of dissonance in the quarter-comma version, and very different from the others. Indeed, if I heard it another context I’d assume it was just out of tune.
