Bach’s Gigue in Bach’s student Kirnberger’s tuning

With my undergradute student Burak Akan at Istanbul Technical University, we worked on Bach’s Gigue arranged by Manuel Barrueco. We used Bach’s student Johann Kirnberger’s tuning (Kirnberger III) for this piece. The thirds are more natural than the 12tet in this tuning. For example, the tonic chord is D major with just major 3rd (D-F#) and a fifth (5.5 cents narrower than the perfect 5th). Here are the cents: D Eb-10 E-7 F-6 F#-14 G-2 G#-10 A-3.5 Bb-8 B-10.5 C-4 C#-12 Music: Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004 IV.
