Notes on the Harpsichords
The notes provide historical context on the harpsichords used in the concert. Specifically, it mentions that the Flemish harpsichord used by William Dowd in 1972 is patterned after an early 17th-century instrument by the Ruckers family of Antwerp. The instrument has been modified in the 18th century, including the addition of a second keyboard and a larger range of notes. The keyboards are designed to play in different pitches, with the upper keyboard pitched a fourth higher than the lower one. The harpsichord's soundboard features painted decorations, including flowers and a rose. The Dowd Flemish harpsichord is built to reflect these historical characteristics.
