In the field of keyboard instruments, Accademia Villa Bossi intends to offer a wide range of possibilities exploring the features of those instruments that have been played in the past for centuries all over Europe. Often, these instruments were interchangeable, so to say, and the choice of a harpsichord or a fortepiano for a concert or a musical evening in a “Salon” in Paris or Milan was just depending on the type of instrument available in each place.
In addition, certain instruments were very useful to develop a particular playing technique and we must not forget, for instance the invitation by C.P.E. Bach to practice regularly the Clavichord if you wanted to become a good harpsichord or organist.
