Bach-Vivaldi: Concerto in C major, BWV976

J.S. Bach-Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in C major, BWV 976, based on Vivaldi’s Op. 3/12, played on replica 1726 Traeri clavichord. This clavichord, once thought to have been owned by Handel, and used by him while traveling, is double-fretted, and has two split accidentals in the bass. There is no low C-sharp or D-sharp, but the last two accidentals are split in two, with the back half playing F-sharp and G-sharp, and the front half playing D and E. The instrument is also tuned a 4th higher than normal pitch. Notice the split accidentals at the bottom of the keyboard, which cause me all sorts of problems when I have to get down there and rumble around on them in 16th notes! This replica was built by Jack Peters of Seattle ( ).
