Genre
Keyboard
Until the piano took over in the late eighteenth century, keyboard music was written mainly for the harpsichord and the clavichord. The harpsichord plucks its strings, and a note sounds equally loud however hard the key is pressed, so contrast comes from the number of voices, from register, and on larger instruments from a second keyboard with a different sound. The quieter clavichord was an instrument for the home. Most recordings in this catalog use a modern piano.
