The Harpsichord in Ancient China
on: September 29, 2015, 12:00:32 AM
Someone should seriously make a movie about Matteo Ricci. Or a drama about Karel Slavicek/
OMG Its so weird how there were harpsichords in imperial China in the 1600s! Its just so crazy!

BTW, I wonder what things Kangxi played on his harpsichord?
