At five flats, this key is far out on edge of possible keys in the 18th century. Indeed, the next generation would rarely go beyond three or four accidentals. Possibly because of the remote key, I notice a significant expressive difference in the harpsichord version of the prelude in particular. As you can hear in the first couple of measures of the prelude, even seconds and augmented seconds sound rather "crunchy" in this temperament. I'm not good enough to tell which one she is using, but likely Werckmeister III or something similar which is usable in all the keys, but some are crunchier than others.Bach prelude fugue Video
