...The big issue that has yet to be adequately addressed is how they solved the problem of transposition when using a temperament system. If the semi-tones are not equal one just can't just transpose without introducing a real wolf den among the parts. The organ can't change and the wind players can only fudge embouchure and fingerings so far. So what did they do?

Whatever they did, we know one thing for sure: they played a lot of music.
