A recording from my lecture-recital "On Performing Josquin’s Chansons on the Clavicytherium" at the virtual conference "universum rei harmonicae concentum absolvunt - The Harpsichord in the 16th century" Institut für Alte Musik der mdw - Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien

The clavicytherium, made by Paolo Zerbinatti, follows the general format of the instrument preserved in London at the Royal College of Music Museum (?South German, c. 1480), an instrument that has unfortunately survived in a somewhat modified and distorted state.
The keyboard has 39 keys, with a range from F2 to A5 [actual pitch extension F3-A6].

La intérprete es maravillosa!..cuánta sabiduría !

[@vaniadalmaso]

Muchas gracias! ❤🙏

[@alfredbackhus6110]

What a beautiful instrument. This kind of timbre would be utterly perfect also for a small ensemble with a viola da gambe, Renaissance traverso, perhaps a violin, lute, cittern or harp...

[@vaniadalmaso]

I agree. It would be very interesting to do some experiments, finding out who plays these other instruments...

[@danawinsor1380]

This is truly wondrous. I believe, based on what I read in another video, that you read keyboard tablature. That in itself is remarkable.

[@oscartagle2713]

Magnificent performance, beautiful piece, and amazing camera angles!

[@vaniadalmaso]

Thank you very much for appreciation!

I am a pianist and would like to purchase one of these instruments. How would I do this?

Grazie!

[@tysontsuru]

Very nice playing. Thank you. (but isn't it a very slow tempo?)

[@vaniadalmaso]

Thankyou, John, for appreciation. About the tempo, if I registered this piece today, I would play it faster. Speed is influenced by heartbeat.
