Music year 1531

The harpsichord - the picture shows an Italian harpsichord by Alessandro Trasuntino from 1531 - is a keyboard instrument that had its heyday in the 15th to 18th centuries. The harpsichord stands out from the piano with its bright, overtone-rich sound. In contrast to the piano, the strings are not struck with hammers, but plucked with picks - so-called quills. The harpsichord and its relatives virginal, spinet, claviorganum and others established themselves in various European countries during the Renaissance with different traditions and designs. In Italy, harpsichords and other keel instruments have been built since 1419, and Italy is the largest center of harpsichord making, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. Most of the farmers worked in the large culturally, economically and politically important cities of Venice, Milan, Bologna, Rome, Naples, but also in smaller places. As far as we know today, Italian keel instruments are also exported to other countries throughout Europe, and around 50 harpsichords and around 100 virginals from the 16th century alone are preserved today. The earliest preserved harpsichords are also Italian: an instrument by Vincentius from 1515/1516 in the possession of Pope Leo X (today in the Accademia Chigiana, Siena) and a harpsichord by Hieronymus Bononiensis from 1521 (today in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London) .
