Music year 1523

The virginal is a small design of the harpsichord , i.e. a keel instrument . Its strings are plucked by keels ( picks ) via a mechanism operated by the keyboard . In the virginal, the strings run parallel to the keyboard, thus across the keys. Virginals are typically single-manual as well as single-choir and have a polygonal or rectangular shape. They come in table form (fixed legs) and in box form (no mounted legs). The virginal, like the harpsichord and the clavichord , can be traced back to the polychord with a keyboard and the psaltery , which emerged in the 13th century . The first images of the Virginal are a woodcut in Sebastian Virdung's Musica Tutscht from 1511, and elegant inlays from the beginning of the 16th century on a door of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican and in the Isabella d'Este studios in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua . The first surviving instrument - shown in the picture - is a virginal by Francesco de Portalupi from Verona from 1523. Virginals are widespread from the 16th to the 18th centuries, particularly in Italy, England and the southern Netherlands (now Belgium). The main centers of virginal and harpsichord construction are in Italy, and from around 1580 to around 1650 in Antwerp. The peak of popularity is in the 16th and 17th centuries.
