What reading level is Italian Harpsichord-Building in the 16th And 17th Centuries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Praetorius does not state that the harpsichord in his illustration wastuned to a low pitch standard, which was actually used for certainpurposes or in particular localities. He discussed the numerous pitchesin use before and during his time, but the only one that he mentioned asbeing a fourth below choir pitch he considered obsolete and suitableonly for plainsong. If the harpsichord was not intended to be tuned tothis standard and used for this purpose, it must have been tuned tochoir pitch and... treated as a transposing instrument.
Querinus van Blankenburg, [3] writing in 1739, states: At that time [the beginning of the 17th century], men had so little experience in transposition that in order to be able to transpose a piece a fourth downwards they made a special second keyboard in the harpsichord for this purpose. This seems incredible, but the very remarkable proof is the fact that the famous Ruckers from the beginning of the last century for a period of more than thirty years made harpsichords only in this way.
