Theres something about the clavichord that gives it a more informal, personal character in comparison to its more concert-oriented cousins, the piano and harpsichord. By its very nature it has an almost inaudible sound, and could never fill even a small concert hall. Because of that, repertoire played on it takes on a much more introspective character.

The indoor setting for Wim Winters’ performance is the ideal setting for playing the clavichord - on a desk, in a small room, either for personal use or with a small audience of no more than a few people. Playing the clavichord is not really even a performance in the way we know it, but a more personal experience with the music and with the instrument.
