Citation Details: Title: De Clavicordio II: Proceedings of the International Clavichord Symposium, Magnano, 21-23 September 1995. Author: Howard Schott Publication: Notes (Refereed) Date: September 1, 1997 Publisher: Music Library Association, Inc. Volume: v54 Issue: n1 Page: p74(2) Article Type: Book Review Distributed by Thomson Gale Excerpt: The clavichord and its music are receiving unprecedented attention at the biennial conferences held at Magnano, Italy. A hitherto relatively minuscule literature is being significantly expanded by the papers delivered at these sessions, where they are illustrated in performance through demonstrations and recitals. The setting of the conference is unique, a twelfth-century church in a small Piemonte village in northern Italy, not far from the Swiss border. Both the spoken word and clavichord playing sound to excellent advantage in this ancient stone building. The published proceedings of the second conference print in revised and extended form twenty-three presentations that can be listed trader three main headings: broadly historical or philosophical; specific aspects of the clavichord repertory; and the organological, ranging…

Book description
The clavichord, forerunner of the piano, was one of the most important instruments in Western keyboard history until the first decades of the nineteenth century. Bernard Brauchli’s comprehensive history fills a major gap in the literature on this instrument. Beginning with the earliest-known references, he traces the clavichord’s evolution up to the mid-nineteenth century, ending with a study of performance technique. The clavichord’s structural developments (traced largely through an analysis of extant instruments), literary documentation (much of it presented here for the first time in English), treatises and iconographical sources are presented in chronological order. What emerges from this study of the various sources is an overview of the essential role this instrument played both socially and musically for more than four centuries, restoring the clavichord to the position it justly deserves in history. Awarded the Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize for 2001, honoring the best book-length organological study in the English language published in 1998/99.

Citation Details Title: The Clavichord.(Review) Author: Edward L. Kottick Publication: Notes (Refereed) Date: September 1, 1999 Publisher: Music Library Association, Inc. Volume: 56 Issue: 1 Page: 140 Article Type: Book Review Distributed by Thomson Gale The late Frank Hubbard, in his landmark Three Centuries of Harpsichord Making (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1965), was probably the first early-keyboard scholar to combine the close examination of antique instruments with archival research. The first two books under review are works of that sort, and both are outstanding efforts, worthy of that comparison. Richard Maunder's thorough account covers harpsichord, piano, and clavichord. Like most books of this type, it delivers both a micro- and a macromessage. The former offers descriptions of keyboard compasses, scales, construction, woods used, bridge and nut cross sections, key coverings, mutation stops, action…
