Abstract
This document examines the history of the clavichord, explores similarities between clavichord and piano technique, and makes suggestions about the respects in which traditional principles of clavichord playing can improve the playing of pianists and piano students. For centuries the clavichord was considered the basis from which all other keyboard instruments could be approached. After a time of relative obscurity in the second half of the nineteenth century, followed by a revival in the twentieth century, the clavichord again enjoys enough dissemination and familiarity to resume that noble role. This study finds, through examination of ancient and contemporary sources, that especially a pianist’s sensitivity of touch and clarity of playing can be improved by playing the clavichord. Practical suggestions are also given. For future, extended versions of this thesis, please check www.albert-muhlbock.com.
