Dolmetsch
contributor to the clavichord revival
Biography
Dolmetsch is named among the figures credited with the 'labors ... in creating an interest in the clavichords,' alongside de Wit and Steinert. The author links this revival of interest to a broader shift among piano constructors toward more soulful, expressive tone rather than continued emphasis on volume, noting also the Vienna and French schools' tenacity in favoring a smaller, more limpid tone. No further biographical detail is given in this passage.
