| A must have reference (especially for digital harpsichordists) |
Nearly a half century ago I was gifted a virginal by the harpsichord chair at a famous music school. I loved the instrument but hated its high maintenance needs. I gave it away. Several careers later I fell in love with and bought a new to the market digital harpsichord by Roland. The principle difference between then and now is the existence of this marvelous little book by Schott. It is particularly useful if you essay, as I have, to teach yourself to play the harpsichord. If you own an acoustic instrument it can serve as a valuable desk reference. If you own or plan to buy a digital then this book is a "must have" because it will show you how to begin filling the gaps in your knowledge. Easy to read, full of sound advice, and an abundance of information according the rear panel notes. All true and at a great price. |
