Question
C. P. E. Bach considered this small, quiet instrument to be the “ideal vehicle” for his “sensitive style,” and it was popular for almost 500 years. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this instrument whose keys jut into a tabletop box like a virginal and depress brass tangents against its strings, instead of using plucked or hammered action. Different notes share the same string in the “fretted” type of this keyboard instrument.
ANSWER: clavichord [accept manichord or clarichord; prompt on clavier or cembalo; reject “harpsichord” or “clavecin” or “clavicembalo” or “clavinet”]
[10e] The clavichord is one of very few keyboard instruments that can achieve this ornament by varying pressure on a key in the Bebung (“BAY-bung”) technique. Cellists produce this expressive pitch oscillation by wobbling a finger.
ANSWER: vibrato [reject “tremolo” or “trill”]
[10h] This Austrian often played Bach on a clavichord. Nicknamed the “terrorist pianist” for flouting concert norms, this jazzy iconoclast wore an embroidered cap like his friend Joe Zawinul, once performed nude, and died shortly after faking his death.
ANSWER: Friedrich Gulda
