Hi Rustom!
I think this is all equal. I don't know about Aeolus, but since it
works fine with other instruments, I assume it is tempered the same way.
Aeolus is equal-tempered by default, but you can readily change it.
The Hammerklavier I used for the C Major invention has an older
tuning. You can also find it on the website, lower down. I think it
might be a roughly baroque tuning.
I've heard that before equal temperament arrived, there were very real
differences between different keys, so that a piece written in C major
would not sound harmonically the same as the same piece played in A
major. That since equal temperament was adopted, there's less
character/difference between the different keys.
Now it's just a matter of transposing and you get the same thing, only
higher or lower ...
