Pianist Plays Bach on a Quiet Clavichord
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#78MTG)
Musician Lord Vinheteiro performed a piece by Bach on a clavichord, an early keyboard instrument used during the composer's lifetime that largely fell out of use in the 19th century. Its quiet, expressive sound made it particularly well suited to practice and composition rather than public performance. Unlike his usual videos, Vinheteiro focused squarely on the keys rather than the camera until the last second.
The clavichord was an instrument available to Bach. Experience what Bach heard when playing the two-part voices.
