Harpsichord and Gravichrod were jewel box of beautiful melody…..It was played in secret
noble or loyal salon and luxurious hobby in only limited of them…this instlments have
mysterious sense that every player effect thier charactor or play freely..
this was made in medieval in Europe especialy in Italy since 16Century, and kept
pursuit of speciality technic by guild still now…
Mozart just apeard that times before produced piano..Harpsichord’s sound is very
sensitive and little sound, so people were getherd around this instlement, and enjoy
this atomosphere…..how little Mozart play freely this , and make joy to surrounding people…
this old instlments make sense of music hilosophy ” how music is..”
but, music world is openning to widely for ordinaly people can enjoy with apear piano
by chance , so Mozart send concert holl music and opened public people in luckyly..
I like to Harpsicode, but piano sounds is special ,too…It was contest of junire player
last week , impressed how little player understand Mozart’s music and thinked hilosophy
in little chest, and energe into play music as not difference adult player…one of them spoked
” Mozart’s world is so deep..and It seems learnning in all in life…Mozart is such composer
for us…” I think so ,too..and agree this…last year was Mozart festival , but continu more..

I enjoy the sound of the Harpsichord even more than the piano. You certainly don’t see or hear them very often anymore.
I love the way they sound. They are my favorite keyboard instrument.
It is wonderful that ordinary people can listen to music and not be restricted by a lack of access. The harpiscord is mellow and grand all at once.
I want to make one of those …but instead of strings i want to produce tones from crystals
they are not loud but you could enhance the sounds with pick up microphones
but my skill with power tools is frightening
To me it seems that every feeling in the world is expressed in music. One piece above all that makes my heart soar is “Jesu Joy Of Man’s Desiring,” I think by J.S. Bach — heard on a grand organ, transports me to the max.
I love Mozart!
