Zusammenfassung:This essay offers some addenda, based mostly on my findings as described and illustrated at www. SIM. spk-berlin.de (Lindley 2012), to the information in David Ledbetter’s splendid bookBach’s Well-tempered Clavier:The 48 Preludes and Fugues(2002). Page numbers will refer to his book unless another publication is indicated. For efficiency I will call him “David” and will use the abbreviationWTCfor Part I of the 48. When I refer to “the nuanced tuning” I will mean the style of temperament that I have argued (at the SIM website and elsewhere¹) that Bach had in mind forWTC.When
