This project explores the history and the repertoire of double manual and other extended keyboard instruments, and examines the significance of using such instruments in selected musical examples. It also investigates repertoire that can be performed more effectively on a double manual keyboard instead of an ordinary piano due to textural issues, overlapped passages, and other technical demands. Performances of the author playing selected repertoire by J.S. Bach, François Couperin, and Domenico Scarlatti on the Moór piano are available for download.
