university in which it is possible to play a live clavichord for fi fty people without
amplifi cation and without outside noise, I’d love to know about it. Because I
can hear enough outside noise here to know that this room is not the place for
that. But we will see what we can do. We have also an electronic experiment
which we will try subsequently, but I’m going to play for a little bit simply to let
you get your ears accustomed to the actual sound. I think probably what you’ll
get are some Little Preludes and a French Suite. I have to adjust this myself
because I have no idea what this sounds like in this room.
[Music]
Now let’s try the other version. I will do the Preludes once more and then the
French Suite.
