dc.description.abstract	Inspired by Hans Davidsson’s 2007 recording of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707) in quarter-comma meantone temperament, this document attempts to develop an analytical system that can illuminate various relationships between written music and temperament. Eleven of Buxtehude’s praeludia, the scope of this project, are presented in a temporally driven graphic format. Data is extracted, individual and comparative analyses are made, and minor conclusions are drawn.
