	The clavichord is the most expressive keyboard instrument ever created. It is the premier instrument for expressing your innermost feelings, for yourself. Pascal, in his Pensees, suggests that 'All the troubles of the world come from being unable to sit alone in a quiet room'; Pascal should have owned a clavichord. It is also the instrument that speaks at the meditative volume level of quiet conversation, among people who know each other well and care about each others' feelings and opinions.
	I especially like to play fretted clavichords; they are the instrument that was the premier at-home instrument for four centuries or so in the Western World. The unfretted clavichord of the 18th century is lovely, there is none lovelier for Mozart or CPE Bach or the wonderful composers of the Bohemian 18th century; but it was a rather short-lived instrument, of importance for perhaps 60 years, mainly in north-central Europe. It is softer than the older instrument and perhaps almost created as a protest as the world got noisier and less connected.
