Harpsichord Method - Volumes 6 7 8 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781672655934)

Volume 6 of 10We begin studying selections from the larger suites and continue our study of the English virginalists and unmeasured prelude. The polyphonic articulation exercises permit the pupil to acquire more independence. The pupil is offered the opportunity to improvize ornaments in a fantasia. Performance Practice notes are given when necessary.Volume 7 of 10This volume prepares the pupil for the repertoire that will be studied in Volume 8, which is a summa of diverse styles and historical information. In Volume 7, we continue our study of selections from the larger suites, play selections from the Wegweiser, an organ method Bach might have known, and meet the acquaintance of Domenico Scarlatti. The Localizing Notes exercises we had in Volumes 1 to 6 serve as a preparation for Sight-reading, and here are the first exercises.Volume 8 of 10In this volume, we treat more polyphony and counterpoint, study Early Italian Baroque fingerings, learn how to prepare an unmeasured prelude, approach Late Medieval repertoire, discuss the earliest fingerings, explain "musica ficta", approach the Spanish Renaissance, the English Virginalists, as well as the North German School, and learn an entire suite by Rameau. We continue our study of Ornamentation and Improvization, Sight-reading, and Basso Continuo.ContentsCheck out individual volumes for content description
