So far, I've only found a recording with an arrangement for multiple instruments, not for solo harpsichord.

The harpsichord doesn’t have dynamics since it plucks the strings and they always give under the same amount of tension, so you can’t change the volume by hitting the key harder or softer. You can see at 4:49 he pulls they key down very slowly and it still sounds at full volume. You might be thinking, “but you can adjust dynamics on a guitar and that’s plucked”, but it works there because you can adjust the position of your finger. On a harpsichord, the jacks are locked into only moving vertically. The piano replaced the jacks with hammers which allows you you have dynamics. But the clavichord strikes the strings with tangents, so it has dynamics too. The name pianoforte (later shortened to piano) comes from the fact that the instrument can play piano and forte which the harpsichord can’t

The man looks like he’s from the era of the clavichord

By the time he got to playing the harpsichord I'd forgotten what the clavichord sounded like

i like when he said " this piano Mozart finally bought" reminds me how i borrow tools or an instrument to a friend and they never return the item and finally they decide to give me some money and purchase it from me, in which case i never get back the initial investment but in turn i end up helping a friend in need

This man is such a good presenter. I could listen to him explain anything.

Excellent explanation of the differences between the harpsichord, clavichord, and piano. Thanks so much. You are, or would make, a great teacher. Your grasp of the subject and clear explanations should set the standard for others.

It’s from what the keys used to be made out of. The accidental keys (black) used to be made of ebony wood. And the natural keys (white) used to be make of ivory. After that kinda.. became not okay, they moved to either plastic stuck to wood, or painted wood. The colour just stuck.

I meant that the colors were reverse of what we have today. The (currently) white keys would have been made from black ebony wood hundreds of years ago. My reasoning was incorrect tho, they actually swapped the colors because the black keys (currently white) were too hard to differentiate with the black gap between them. Making those keys white highlighted the gap, making them easier to play. And no, I dont get high anymore :)

What an informative video; thank you! I've always enjoyed the history of instruments and this was a fun way to learn.

Excellent little program. Just what I wanted to know (and hear). Thank you.

Wonderful presentation. Thank you for making it. Any chance you could make more on other instruments such as the celesta? It’s really nice how you explain the history of the instruments and how they work.

It would be so easy to electrify that harpsichord.... that would be awesome.

Very instructive, and beautiful executions. Many thanks for these videos, Sir.

Love that clavichord! Great playing! Thank you

Another observation: The harpsichord shown appears to be in the Italian style; there is no provision for moving the jackslides to provide a contrast of tone, as in Flemish instruments...

Such a majestic moustache. Congratulations 🎊

GREAT video! I loved learning the history, mechanics, and differences of them. And boy does he play so well! Thanks for this

Simply brilliant! Expert knowledge of the history and very skillful use of the instruments! Thank you for taking the time to write, *compose,* and perform this! And of course...if ain't *baroque,* don't fix it.

One can imagine the people who made the clavichord saying to themselves, "This is fine, what kind of maniac would expect F and F♯ to be played at the same time anyway?" (And then composers, being composers, immediately going "Hold my ale, 'tis dissonance o'th'clock." :)

Great video filled with plenty of information about the history of keyboard instruments from the beginning through the grand piano.

I love the harpsichord played on the Addams family TV show from the 1960's I always wanted one.

If I might make a couple of clarifications: Actually, the earliest stringed keyboard instrument known is the hurdy-gurdy; it has been depicted since the 12th century, whereas the earliest possible references to the clavichord are from the 14th century. Additionally, there is a more direct ancestor of the piano known from the 15th century: the "dulce melos", or keyed dulcimer, described in the manuscript of Henri Arnault van Zwolle ...

Thanks for a set of great presentations. I appreciate the comparison of the fortepiano to the clarinet. You are right. I just never made the connection. Also, thanks for the comparison to the guitar at several points in your presentation. Lutes and guitars are some of the oldest string instruments we know, so the connection to the keyboard instruments is inescapable (but the history of plucked instruments and their connection forward seems to have eluded many musicians and historians. King Louis XIV was a guitarist, for example. One should think, therefore, that guitar music from that time would provide a source for understanding the performance of French baroque music.) As a guitarist, I always assumed that the change in sound intensity when pushing the instrument was an inferiority, compared to the modern piano. I need to rethink that. Thank you!

Beautiful instruments 👑🎼🎶🎶🎶🎹🎹🎹❤❤❤

As a guitar player… I learned so much useful history and things from this video, no wonder we play many harpsichord pieces on classical guitar now 🫡

We have a clavichord in the hall at my school. It fits very well, since the newest parts of the building are from 1921. Some alumni play it very well in fact.
