Encounter II: Keyboard Evolution: How Bach’s Instruments Became the Modern Piano, led by Stuart Isacoff
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Martin Family Hall, Menlo School
(see times)
The keyboards prominent in J. S. Bach’s time—clavichords, harpsichords, and organs—slowly gave way in popularity to the piano, which was virtually unknown until Mozart brought it to the forefront in the 1780s. At this summer’s second Encounter, pianist and writer Stuart Isacoff will explore both the origins and the evolution of the piano and its literature.
