Like many early musical instruments revived in the 20th century, the clavichord has since developed a contemporary repertoire of its own. Although nowhere near as large as that for the harpsichord, it comprises some 500 works by more than 300 composers written over a century, and includes music by such well-known names as Lennox Berkeley, Peter Maxwell Davies, Stephen Dodgson, Friedrich Gulda, Alun Hoddinott, Herbert Howells, Nicola Le Fanu and Per Nørgård.

This book outlines the clavichord revival that began in England in the 1890s; the instrument makers, performers and composers that contributed; and looks at the influence of competitions and recordings in creating a new repertoire. There are chapters aimed at present-day players and composers, and a complete catalogue of works, together with a discography and a detailed bibliography.
