Dolmetsch - Arnold Dolmetsch

Japanese: ドルメッチ - どるめっち(英語表記)Arnold Dolmetsch
Dolmetsch - Arnold Dolmetsch

A British scholar of early music and early musical instruments, with ancestry in France, Switzerland, Germany and Bohemia. Born in Le Mans, France, he studied at the Royal College of Music in London. Raised in a musical family environment, he devoted himself to deciphering pre-Baroque sheet music and restoring musical instruments, and gave concerts every two weeks with his wife, children, relatives and acquaintances. Not only did he play the lute, viol, clavichord and harpsichord, but by 1926 he had reconditioned a recorder in every dimension and used it at a music festival. This became the basis for the recorder that is now used in school education and early music performances in many countries. In 1929, he established the Dolmetsch Foundation to support research and performance. His books include "Performance Interpretations of the 17th and 18th Centuries" (1915).
