Review

For the amateur...it should be dog-eared, underlined, annotated and otherwise treasured. Highly recommended. (American Music Teacher)

Really a great book....The most valuable and the unique aspect of this book is the 'plain & easy' yet scholarly coverage of such a wide spectrum of topics that formerly required reference to several books....The writing is clear, even amusing at times, and the organization of the book is excellent....Highly recommended for both undergraduate and graduate students of the harpsichord....
