#harpsichord

The new harpsichord did have its first public outing a few weeks ago at our community playing weekend... and it held its own against much larger harpsichords! So, YAY for our little green harpsichord!

Our ensemble's next chamber series concert is a classical-era concert... and that means that we are featuring the Walther-model fortepiano that we have. It was the model of piano that Mozart favoured due

Five different concerts in a bit over two weeks... a bit of a silly idea? Well, if it is the same programme then it would be just fine! Sadly, we decided to do five different programmes across a huge

Today I posted three new YouTube videos which I hope you will check out. The first video includes two excerpts from my clavichord suite Love, Deception, Delusion, & Counterpoint : "Music Box"

During the last week I've posted several new YouTube videos about which I would now like to tell you. While I originally intended to post only videos related to keyboard music, whether of my own composition

At this time I am notating a harpsichord improvisation I recorded a few months ago - the day prior to my organ recital, actually. I titled the harpsichord improvisation "Star-Crossed." I am preparing
