Illustrated talk by Frank Pelleg
In recent weeks Fritz Rothschild 's theories on how eighteenth-century music was performed have been the subject of several broadcasts. The speaker, the well-known Israeli barpsiohord player, believes that such theories are irrelevant as far as the modern executant is concerned, and that the harpsichord should be played in a modern way and not treated as a museum piece.
