We present two arrangements of John Eccles' Air from «The Mad Lover», for classical guitar. The Air, originally in E minor, has been transposed into A minor (first arrangement) resp. C minor (second arrangement). Arrangements and performance: Claudi Meneghin.
Bonus track: midi rendition the same air, arranged for Baroque Oboe and Continuo, tuned into 31-edo, very close to Quarter-comma Meantone:
This is Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag tuned into 7-limit just intonation, played at midi organ.

We present Bach's Ricercar a 6 from the Musical Offering, tuned into 34-equal division of the octave, used as two chains of 17-edo. A mild syntonic-comma adjustment was caried out: all notes from E onwards on the chain of fifths were lowered by 1/34 of an octave (the interval A-E almost never shows up in the Ricercar a 6); also, A was lowered by 1/34 of on octave if lying above an F in the framework of a F or F7 chord; finally D was lowered by 1/34 of an octave if lying above a Bb in the framework of a Bb or Bb7 chord.
The remaining notes were left unchanged as if they were in 17-edo. Some local ajustments were performed too.
The same piece in 17-edo (without 34-edo syntonic-comma adjustment):
