The "Ricercar" is one of the forms of composition most used during the Renaissance, this is in a few words to search for the short initial theme consists of a few notes that vaguely looks during the composition with other voices in counterpoint. The notes F-E-D-E (fa mi re, mi) have been inspired by numinulus Fede, diminutive of Federeica name.
Il "Ricercar" è una delle forme compositive più in uso nel Rinascimento, si tratta in parole poche di ricercare il breve tema iniziale costituito da poche note che vagamente appare nel corso della composizione con altre voci in contrappunto. Le note F-E-D-E (fa,mi,re,mi) sono state ispirate dal numinulus Fede, diminutivo di FedereicaSalve Regina di Anonimo (Sec.

The Italian renaissance fingering has two methods: the one described by Girolamo Diruta (1554-1610) in the treatise "Il Transilvano", and the other described by Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634) in the treatise "Conclusioni nel suono dell'organo". The general rule is the alternation of notes good with the bad notes (Diruta) or the long note by note short (Banchieri) example Diruta ascent with the right hand: 2, 3-4, 3-4, 3-4, .. and down with the right hand: 4, 3-2, 3-2, 3-2, .. Banchieri example ascent with the right hand: 3-4, 3-4, 3-4, .. and down with the right hand: 3-2, 3-2, 3-2, .. The two methods are interchangeable, the important thing is the alternation of notes, but the two methods are hardly interchangeable in our mind, so I just play with the method Banchieri that has certainly been the most widely used in historical times, and from which it is derived the method of baroque fingering : 1-2-3-4-3-4-3-4-5-4-3-2-3-2-3-2-1.Girolamo Frescobaldi and early fingeringFranco Bandera2013-06-02 | Toccata terza by Girolamo Frescobaldi, from the first book, with no obligation to finish it all and with a variety of steps.

The inner-outer Italian clavichord, in two versions, removed from the case and inserted into the second case, the sound is different, extract from the case raised the harmonics acute, while it is inserted into the hospital case reinforced the fundamental component of sound.
These subtle differences can also be heard in the video that I present to you, which shows the two versions, extracted from the second case and introduced in its second case, translated to the player.

Agricola (1720-1774) played by Franco Bandera da Rovereto on italian clavichord with 3 bridges made by himself.TWO ITALIAN CLAVICHORDSFranco Bandera2010-03-14 | Clavichord in Italian style is distinguished primarily for configuration of multi bridges, placed at right angle respect to wires; the few historical models that have come to us have 2 or 3 straight bridges, but in a famous table XV of "Syntagma Musicun" (1619) by M. Praetorius are designed 4
instruments described as follows: 1. Clavicyterium, 2. Clavichordium Italianischer Mensur (with 4 straight bridges), 3 Gemein clavichord (with one curved bridge), 4. Octav Clavichordium (in Italian style with a one straight bridge).
In the video I play two Intonatzioni (III and IV Tono) by Andrea Gabrieli, with two clavichords that I designed and made in 1985, respectively, with the first instrument that has 3 bridges and the second instrument has 4 bridges.
Thank you for your attention.
