===Modern music=== The clavichord has also gained attention in other genres of music, in the form of the [[Clavinet]], which is a solid body electric clavichord with magnetic pickups that plug into an amp. [[Stevie Wonder]] uses a Clavinet in many of his songs, such as "[[Superstition (song)|Superstition]]" and "[[Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder song)|Higher Ground]]". A Clavinet played through an [[instrument amplifier]] with guitar [[effect pedal]]s is often associated with [[funk]]y, [[disco]]-infused 1970s rock. [[Guy Sigsworth]] has played clavichord in a modern setting with [[Björk]], notably on the studio recording of "[[All Is Full of Love]]". Björk also made extensive use of and even played the instrument herself on the song "My Juvenile" of her 2007 album ''[[Volta (album)|Volta]]''. [[Tori Amos]] uses the instrument on "Caught a Lite Sneeze" from the album ''[[Boys for Pele]]'' and on the song "Smokey Joe" from her 2007 album ''[[American Doll Posse]]''. Amos also featured her use of the [[Clavinet]] on her 2004 recording "Not David Bowie", released as part of her 2006 [[box set]], ''[[A Piano: The Collection]]''. In 1976 [[Oscar Peterson]] played (with Joe Pass on acoustic guitar) songs from ''Porgy And Bess'' on the clavichord. [[Keith Jarrett]] also recorded an album titled ''Book of Ways'' (1986) in which he plays a series of clavichord improvisations. [[The Beatles]]' "[[For No One]]" (1966) features [[Paul McCartney]] playing the clavichord. [[Rick Wakeman]] plays the Clavinet in the track "The Battle" from the album ''[[Journey to the Centre of the Earth (album)|Journey to the Centre of the Earth]]''.
