Aspects of Tempo Rubato in the 18th c. Inspired by Paul Simmonds 1994

Reading through a pile of old numbers of "Clavichord International", probably one of the most international and best organised magazines, I came across several articles (among other) by Paul Simmonds, on performance practices in the 18th c. These little articles -we would call them blogs in our time - show the hand of someone who is really well informed and still today, these articles are very, very worthwhile reading.

An special word of thanks to Paul Simmonds, a great player, someone who meant and means a lot for the early keyboard instruments and the clavichord in special. You can go to his website here:

And in a mail yesterday, Paul was so kind to let me know that these little articles formed the foundations of a book on 18th c. performance practice! You can find more info here:
