:unlimited vis-à-vis | Tatjana Vorobjova

In the organizer's words:

Fancy early music combined with dance, techno or visual art? The :unlimited series from zamus: center for early music cologne combines the past with the present:

The clavichord, the quietest instrument of the Baroque era, is juxtaposed with the brilliant concert harpsichord. Why do harpsichordists often talk so much about the clavichord? Is it really just a "practice instrument for playing at night without disturbing the peace"? Or is it capable of producing a fine dynamic nuance that the harpsichord supposedly lacks due to its special tone production (flexible finger pressure on the key creates direct contact with the string)? Often underestimated: the clavichord and the harpsichord in their solo role. This program from the Baroque era shows the expressive possibilities of both instruments and why, in the golden age of harpsichord music in the 17th and 18th centuries, both were the "voice of keyboard performers".
