I am preparing a modern performing edition of an 18th Century sacred
Latin piece for chorus and orchestra, including continuo. As I am
preparing the keyboard realization of the figured bass, I think back to
the continuo keyboard parts I have played from (mostly European
publications, Baerenreiter, Breitkopf, etc), where the naming of the
part is "Cembalo". For an edition such as mine that will be published
here in the US, what would be an appropriate substitute term in English
to use in place of Cembalo. "Keyboard" is the first thing that comes to
mind, but is there something clearer than that to indicate that this is
the keyboard realization of the continuo figured bass?
Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.
To be accurate in a single word, I'd use "Continuo"
