	Dolmetsch, Arnold \| Grande Musica
		Dolmetsch was so successful that he was engaged by Chickering and Sons, the piano manufacturers of Boston, to superintend the manufacture of clavichords, harpsichords and other instruments, such as a psaltery, and a viola da gamba, and to restore some Sixteenth Century instruments, one of which was a virginal, by Hans Rückers, dated 1620.
		Dolmetsch is unusually well-fitted because of his thorough and first-hand knowledge of the old keyboard instruments and because of his practical apprenticeship in the past.
		Dolmetsch has a keen and penetrating knowledge of the period with which he deals in designing, and is not only painstaking in his work, but faithful to the traditions and sentiments of the epoch which he repre sents.

		Dolmetsch's eldest daughter, Helene, was a fine viola da gamba player, but was estranged from her father from 1901 almost until her death.

		Indeed, it was the discovery in the Royal College of Music of some of this music that had encouraged Arnold Dolmetsch, in the 1880s, to begin his lifelong work of research into the interpretation of early music and the construction of the instruments for which it was written.
		Dolmetsch and Saxby were particularly keen to encourage a younger generation to make music.
		Dolmetsch was a dear, loyal friend, but he did not suffer fools, and abhorred disloyalty.

		Arnold Dolmetsch (1858 –; 1940) is seen by many as the founder of the Early Music Movement.

		Dowd went to Detroit for a year to work in the shop of John Challis, whose work from the thirties onward, together with that of his teacher and predecessor of a quarter-century earlier, Arnold Dolmetsch, laid the foundations of twentieth century harpsichord building in the United States.
		Frank Hubbard, on his side, departed for England to gather what he could of the Dolmetsch tradition and to make a study of ancient keyboard instruments in public and private collections in England and on the continent.
		There were of course remarkable and fortunate exceptions to these tendencies, most notably set forth in the early work of Arnold Dolmetsch and in the work of some more recent makers.

		As I advanced in my playing, Diana told me of the wonderful duets in "Jane Pickering's lute book." She had some of them copied, and one good day for the first time in probably three centuries, they came to life in the little cottage in Heyshott.
		We then began to work seriously on some of the duets and played a set of them in an informal performance at the Haslemere Festival, to the delight of everyone and the high praise of Rudolph Dolmetsch, the oldest and most gifted musician of the Dolmetsch family.
		The next summer when Diana and I began to rehearse the lute duets we were to play at the Festival, we decided to work especially hard and show what the lute really could do.
