What is a baroque keyboard instrument?

A Baroque keyboard instrument refers to any keyboard instrument commonly used during the Baroque period (approximately 1600-1750), including the harpsichord, clavichord, and organ. These instruments are characterized by their unique construction and sound production methods; for example, the harpsichord plucks strings with quills, while the clavichord strikes the strings with tangents. The Baroque keyboard repertoire features intricate counterpoint and ornamentation, reflecting the artistic style of the time. Composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti wrote significant works for these instruments, contributing to their prominence in Baroque music.
