instrument built by Paul Irvin in 1995 for Carol lei, and is modeled
after a 1765 Friederici clavichord in Leipzig.
The poems will be
read in German in order to experience the original sound and effect.
Translations by Annette Richards may be found below, and are taken

Speaking Clavichord,” De Clavicordio IV: Proceedings of the IV
International Clavichord Symposium, Magnano, Sept. 1999, p. 31-34.
