@seamusnot Historically, the tuning of winds has dictated pitch. Most German Baroque organs are found tuned a 1/2 step to a m3 above A440. Analysis of organ pipes indicates that Schuetz performed his church music at A462. Around A465 was prevalent. These organ tunings derived from Renaissance wind pitch. The various "chamber" pitches since the late 17th c. were based on the new French winds. A440, an ISO std. adopted in the 1950s, was the result of decades of lobbying by American wind makers.
to say baroque organs were tuned to A465 is a little misleading. very few towns. let alone countries tuned to the same pitch. even in the baroque era organs in different towns in the same country were tuned quite differently
@rootingfortaiwan It's weird that people automatically assume everyone, everywhere, since the beginning of time tuned to A440, as though A440 tuning were a law of nature & everyone was born with his ears tuned to A440. A440 didn't become an international "standard" until the 1950s. This is a historically informed performance played in Bb@A415, which is the Late Baroque German chamber pitch. Baroque organs were tuned to A465. The reasons have to do with changes in the tuning of wind instruments.
