Book excerpt: In April 2002, the "harmoniques Foundation organised an International Congress in Lausanne of musicians, musicologists, instrument makers and restorers, and museum curators. The four days of exchange, discussion and debate focused on early keyboard instruments--clavichords, harpsichords, fortepianos and « Tangentenflugel. The emphasis of the various contributions was on instrument-making techniques and the keyboard instruments associated with Bach, Haydn and Chopin. The authors of this volume are specialists in different but complementary fields; some have taught musicology and organology in Higher Education, others have pursued careers as instrument makers following their graduation as B.A. or M.A. The interest of these papers lies in the unusual juxtaposition of scientific observation, research in historical sources, and practical instrument-making.
