  • what is the song that is being played on the clavichord

  • Aria and variations in G, HWV 430/4a, aka "The Harmonious Blacksmith." Chris Hogwood on clavichord, one of today's few virtuosos on that instrument. Please see rolling credits at end for other titles.

  • song for harpsicord and pianoforte?

  • Er, I guess you're inquiring about which piece was played.

    It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K 331 (Klaviersonate Nummer 11" in three movements.

    The section played is the third movement, Alla Turca: Allegretto in A minor, sometimes known as the Rondo alla Turca or Turkish March. A classic bit of Mozart repertoire and widely played recital piece.

  • Is it okay if I use this video for my national history day project? it is very nice and shows EVERYTHING i need.

  • sure; send me a msg and I can email you a hi-res version directly.

see all
