Six pieces from Musica Britannica Vol. 96-Complementary to K49 this collection is a unique offering of music by John Amner Nicholas Carleton and John Tomkins that is the only surviving Keyboard music by the respective composers. In addition to a pair of duets in themselves an unusual feature from the period there are two lengthy sets of variations Amner's being a rare example of those on a metrical psalm or hymn-tune (possibly by Tallis in this case) John Tomkins' being more conventionally modelled on the variation sets of William Byrd. Nicholas Carleton's 'A verse of 4 parts' and 'Upon the sharp' include several examples of unusual chromatic notation and wide-rangingtonal schemes.

Francis Couperin nicknamed 'Le Grand' is perhaps the greatest of all French composers for the Harpsichord. He is quoted as saying that for each of his pieces he always had 'a definate idea in mind: (and) the titles correspond to these ideas'. Each piece is designed as a kind of portrait; not only persons are thus represented but moods and emotions as well as objetcs and incidents.

Par SCARLATTI / GILBERT. Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this ninth volume is indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti 's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families. The ninth volume, comprising Sonatas 408-457, includes many of the popular and recognised Sonatas in a variety of keys. Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre./ Répertoire / Clavier

In the Baroque Era the term “clavier” referred to all keyboard instruments: virginal clavichord harpsichord fortepiano and others. The Bärenreiter Baroque Piano Album presents a representative selection of the major forms of Baroque clavier music from England Italy France and Germany . The anthology is divided into these four countries and illustrated with pictures of historical instruments to convey an impression of music making in the country concerned. The volume begins with the Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi whose keyboard works exemplify the stylistic transition from the Renaissance to theBaroque. It then moves on to the English virginalists and the French clavecinistes and ends with the epochal of Johann Sebastian Bach. Apart from traits which prevailed in each of these countries piano pupils will learn about the various stages of the Early High and Late Baroque period as well as about the major musical genres from dance to fugue. Special care was taken in the selection of the pieces to ensure that they could be played on the modern piano.

Reliable fingering has been added to make the volume ideal for use in piano lessons.
