Mozart's own piano? I'd be surprised if the original temperament had lasted so long - in my experience, fortepianos go out of tune in a few weeks, if not days....
It would be easy to discover what tuning she is actually using by running each pitch example thru software analysis e.g. melodyne; spear; etc. Charles Lucy...

Ah! The delightful terminology of Partials, Overtones, and Harmonics. These days most theorists speak exclusively of harmonics. Few people refer to the old...
Hi Mark, Actually, usage of the terms "partial" and "overtone" makes sense if they are used correctly. But i'm playing devil's advocate -- i do agree with you...

Dear Tuning Terminology Pundits, What do you generally call a scale which has any number of tones and is created using 2 generators, one of which is 2/1 and...
... Too long, didn't read, eh? Man, I read Dahlgren. In German. Well my eyes kind of glazed over from about 9/5 to the octave, hahaha! -Cameron Bobro...
I don't like "harmonic" because so many tones have inharmonic partials. "overtone" also is not good, as not all sounds have the percieved fundamental at the...
Hi Aaron, It would still be a scale (you say so yourself). But it may be an instance of a *linear temperament*. Provided there is an (implicit or explicit)...
Graham's answer is more precise, since it tells you what to call it if there isn't a mapping. Though we do say the diatonic scale is an instance of the ...
Do you consider quarter comma meantone to have identical sounding keys, only at different pitch heights? In other words, with the use of flexible pitch...
... Additionally, "harmonic" can refer to a technique of touching a string lightly at a node and plucking or bowing to produce a higher-pitched note (a...
Graham and Carl, Thanks for the answers. I had been calling such a thing a Linear Temperament, but I had misgivings about this that I could quite put my finger...
... Interesting scale; it manages to avoid sounding dissonant even though (or perhaps becuase) it doesn't have many consonant intervals. Has a bit of a whole...
Herman, Thanks for including the other definition of harmonic, the one which refers to the technique of touching a string lightly at a node and plucking or...
... Yes, I think 1/4-comma meantone does have identical sounding keys, if allowed to stretch off to infinity. Exact 1/4-comma meantone never closes into an...
I agree with Carl's characterization, and will add two comments, the first is that, given the ubiquity of meantone, "key characters" in the meantone era,...
... Thank you, Daniel. I tried to argue this here about key characters of the well temperament era, and had a hard time convincing anyone. I can't remember...
