What is Clavichord?

Clavichord is an instrument of a keyboard such as harp, piano, virgin, spinet and accordion. It is known in the class as Box Zither and is also mentioned in Dulcimer and Autoharp. The main division in Clavichords is among cracked and uncomfortable versions.

Clavichord is built in the shape of a rectangle. When the keys are pressed, the blades called Tangens, raise to hit the strings above them. The player controls the dynamics of the amount of force used to put the key, but overall the instrument is limited in the range of its sound and cannot play extremely loud. Because the tangent must be held against the strings and must not bounce, the touch needed for Clavichord is different from other keyboard instruments. Bach senior was reportedly obsessed with six Harpsichords and is not considered unlikely that no Clavichords would be unlikely. His work, correctly called the well -lived Clavier, which means piano, Harpsichord or Clavichord, was translated as a well -tempered Clavichord, which may be of the origin of the idea. Haydn reportedly rHe erased his biography that although he lives in poverty as a young man when he played his Clavichord, old and worn, even though it was, he did not even envy the king.

Christopher Hogwood, a specialist in Baroque music, has made several recordings focused on Clavichord's works by famous composers using instruments of the eighteenth century, including Clavichord, which belonged to Mozart. Clavichord was used by composer John Addison in 1963 music, Tom Jones and also an inspiration for the topic of the TV series Murder, she wrote.
