Historical Keyboard

Historical keyboard music encompasses performances on authentic or replica keyboard instruments from various periods, including the harpsichord, clavichord, early pianos, and fortepianos. Interpreters such as Pieter-Jan Belder and Andreas Staier delve deep into the nuanced and rich tonalities of these instruments, aiming to recreate the soundscapes originally experienced by audiences of the past. This genre emphasizes historically informed performance practices, which include the use of period-appropriate techniques, tunings, and expressive idioms. It often involves the works of composers like Bach, Scarlatti, and Mozart, interpreted with a fidelity to the stylistic context of their time. Through the use of historical keyboards, artists like Ronald Brautigam and Malcolm Bilson offer listeners a unique opportunity to step back in time and hear classical music as it would have sounded centuries ago.
