Charlotte Mattax Moersch

Charlotte Mattax Moersch is a celebrated harpsichordist and advocate for historical keyboard music, specializing in Baroque repertoire and period instrument performance. Known for her scholarly yet expressive approach, she breathes new life into works by Bach, Couperin, D’Anglebert, and lesser-known composers like Christian Noblet. Her recordings, including *J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations* and *D’Anglebert: Pièces de clavecin*, showcase her knack for balancing technical precision with the intimate quirks of early instruments like the harpsichord and lautenwerk. A dedicated educator, she’s shaped generations of musicians through her teaching (she’s held positions at institutions like the University of Illinois) and her focus on historically informed performance practices. Whether resurrecting Wilhelm Friedemann Bach’s sonatas or unpacking French Baroque suites, Mattax Moersch treats every trill and ornament like a secret worth sharing.
