Baroque Keyboard Ornamentation, eBook

The Interpretation of Baroque Ornaments and Embellishments

 

This is the most comprehensive and updated book available on the subject. It includes the realisation of Baroque ornaments, free embellishments and extemporisation, and deals also with ornaments and techniques for non-keyboard instruments.

The goal of this work is to contribute to what the performer of Baroque music—whether student, amateur or professional—needs to know in order to achieve a performance that the composer would have deemed not only a correct reading of the score, but also an interpretation worth of his approval.

Although based on period-type instruments, most of the contents are viable on modern instruments as well.
We have included a generous complement of illustrations and musical examples, mainly selected from masterpieces by the greatest Baroque composers, which are the main interest of most present-day musicians.
