about

Richard Troeger (Clavichord, Harpsichord, Fortepiano) Born: September 1, 1953 - Santa Barbara, California, USA The American harpsichordist, clavichordist and fortepianist, Richard Troeger, was largely self-taught on the harpsichord from age 12 until University (he left his piano teacher at 11), and has never had a clavichord teacher. These were his primary keyboard instruments from very early on; in his twenties he added the fortepiano. He learnt of the clavichord when he was ten years old and exploring early keyboard music. He built himself an instrument shortly afterward from parts supplied by a California builder and obtained a much better instrument from Ronald Haas about two years later - and he's built for him several since. One of his earliest public performances, in school at age 16, was on the clavichord. He played an all-Bach program - a French Suite, the 15 Inventions, a Fantasia. He is a graduate of Indiana University (BM, 1977), holds Master degrees in Performance and Musicology from Indiana University (1982) and completed a Doctorate in Early Music there (1987). His teachers include Anthony Newman, Marie Zorn, Hugh McLean, and Thomas Binkley. Richard Troeger made his professional debut in 1981 in New York. Herforms on the clavichord, harpsichord and fortepiano and in duo-keyboard recitals with his wife, organist and harpsichordist Paulette Grundeen (married: April 12, 1982).
