Miscellaneous
The harpsichord soundboard rose used on the left-hand menu of our webpages was painted by Ruth Knoll based on the soundboard painting of the 1769 Pascal Taskin double-manual harpsichord now housed in the Russell Collection of Early Keyboard Instruments in Edinburgh, Scotland. (The center portion has, of course, been altered for use here)
Clicking on the rose wherever it is found on the site will always return you to the SECM home page.
Photographs of the 1769 Taskin harpsichord, including the soundboard rose, can be seen here.
The Sun of German Composers
This graphic, found on the last page of Volume 3 of the Society's newsletter, depicts a sun filled with names of 18th-century German composers. The original is from an Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung article from 1799. The graphic and accompanying article can be seen here.
