While playing around with a new feature in Rockbox (a feature I helped
somewhat in the development - called "time stretching" - ie, playing a
track back at a speed that was different than the original speed without
adjusting pitch - and in the final implementation, being able to adjust
the pitch without adjusting the speed of playback), I happened across the
following article:
http://home.earthlink.net/~douglaspage/id86.html
I was looking for some sort of a guide to adjust the playback of some
Bach violin solos (Partida #4) to get a sound that was closer to what the
instrument would've been tuned to in Bach's day.
The last section of the paper was the relevant information - and some
history that none of my music history classes really touched upon other
than to say "tuning was traditionally flat compared to modern tuning".
