Like many early musical instruments revived in the 20th century, the clavichord has since developed a contemporary repertoire of its own. Although nowhere near as large as that for the harpsichord, it comprises some 500 works by more than 300 composers written over a century, and includes music by such well-known names as Lennox Berkeley, Peter Maxwell Davies, Stephen Dodgson, Friedrich Gulda, Alun Hoddinott, Herbert Howells, Nicola Le Fanu and Per N rgård.
This book outlines the clavichord revival that began in England in the 1890s; the instrument makers, performers and composers that contributed; and looks at the influence of competitions and recordings in creating a new repertoire. There are chapters aimed at present-day players and composers, and a complete catalogue of works, together with a discography and a detailed bibliography.
