This is a transcription of a clavichord record by Joan Benson (Bridge S 2250). It was a "recommended recording of the year" (1973) by the Saturday Review. The clavichord, popular from the 15th to 18th century is the simplest and quietest of all the keyboard instruments. It is for personal use and not for concerts. To approximate its true sound your playback level must be very low. While rock music resides in the upper injurious levels of human hearing, the clavichord occupies the lowest levels. The instrument however has a wide dynamic range; its lowest levels are barely perceptible, while the upper levels can reach an audience in a small room who are intently listening. This recording is on clavichords by Thomas Goff of England and Jacobus Verwolf of the Netherlands. To appear later will be selections on historical instruments: a 1568 Tosi, and 1796 Schiedmayer. The titles of this posting are: 1. Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) "Tombeau." 2. Caspar Ferdinand Fischer (?-1746) "Prelude and Chaconne." 3. Carl Phillipe Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) "Freie Fantasie, F# minor." 4. Dietrich Ewald von Grotthus (1751-1786) "Rondo in C." 5. Antonio de Cabezon (1510-1566) "Duuiensela." 6. Jean Perrichon (1566-1600) "Volte."
