Hello Tilman,

Thank you for enlightening me about Westfield's attention to all 
keyboard instruments (maybe even tafeklaviers?!).  I did see a notice 
about the fortepiano event, but didn't connect it to them. I'm an organ 
fan also, so am pleased that the King of Instruments is included.

Too bad we didn't have a chance to do lunch together at the Festival; 
maybe some other time?  I'm an admirer of your dad's instruments; have a 
number of recordings with them.

Cheers,

Peter

> Just a note--the Westfield Center for historical keyboard studies does in fact focus on other keyboard instruments, too. Initially this was primarily the organ, but there have certainly also been clavichord- and fortepiano-centered events (there was a huge fortepiano conference in Ithaca last August, for example, and an Empfindsamkeit-and-clavichord conference in October 2014). More can be read on Westfield's website at https://westfield.org. Instructions for how to become a member (which I would encourage, obviously) are here: https://westfield.org/join/ .
