Lod'ia (Ладья)

Peter the Great imported clavichords into Russia. At this time in Russia, "clavichords" (клавикорды) includes clavichords, harpsichords, clavorgans, and pianos. Although Peter the Great had imported clavichords from Europe, music for these instruments wasn't published until circa 1783. The music playing when this web page loads is authentic 19th century Russian clavichord music.

Lod'ia (Ладья) were shallow draft craft intended for use along the shores of large seas such as the Baltic or the Black Sea, lakes (such as Lake Ladoga), and rivers (such as the Don).
