Richard
Siegel won prizes for the
Harpsichord and Chamber
Music at the Paris
Conservatoire before
going on the win first
prize in the 1977
International Harpsichord
Competition. He has since
recorded over 30 CDs and
his passionfor the
instrument has been
further apparent in his
production of Apprendre
Toucher le Clavecin. As
stated in the preface,
the study of the
Harpsichord has long been
reserved, frequently
dismissed as an
'old-fashioned'instrument
. However, a recent rise
in the popularity of
early music has rekindled
interest in the
Harpsichord. In Apprendre
Toucher le Clavecin,
volume 1 being the first
of two helpful volumes to
aid student's learning
andprogression, Siegel
enables Harpsichord
beginners to learn
through repertoire pieces
themselves, drawn from
the Keyboard masters of
the Baroque period. The
pupil will be guided
towards an understanding
of technique and
stylesuited to the
Harpsichord. Furthermore,
Apprendre Toucher le
Clavecin, which is
accompanied by a CD,
enables adults who learnt
the instrument as a child
to return to the
instrument and have the
instant feeling of making
music.

Eric
Ewazen’s THREE
INVENTIONS were inspired
by Bach’s Two-part
Inventions, yet they
sound thoroughly like
Ewazen. Composed for
harpsichord (with a piano
adaptation following
later), Ewazen’s
inventions maintain a
pure “one note per
hand†texture until
their final chord, with
strong-but-free imitative
counterpoint between the
two voices. While Ewazen
may be best known for his
wind music, he is a
pianist himself, and
composers’ works
for their own instrument
are a direct insight into
how they write for their
own performances. The
piano adaptation of THREE
INVENTIONS is also
available as a separate
publication. THREE
INVENTIONS was written
for my dear friend Maria
Rojas, who premiered the
work on a faculty recital
at Juilliard. Maria is
both a pianist and a
harpsichordist, and I
first met her when she
gave a demonstration of
the harpsichord for the
students in my theory
classes.I’ve
always been captivated by
Bach’s series of
Two-Part and Three-Part
Inventions. With the
Two-Part Inventions,
I’m amazed how
Bach could create such
wonderful intricacy and
counterpoint with only
two voices. I
consequently modeled my
inventions after the
counterpoint of Bach,
involving the traditional
contrapuntal devices he
used: imitation,
development, harmonic and
modal shifts,
fragmentation, and
sequence, essentially
creating a dialog between
two completely equal
voices conversing with
each other!Bach wrote 15
Two-Part Inventions (as
well as 15 Three-Part
Inventions, not to
mention the 48 preludes
and fugues in The
Well-Tempered Clavier!),
and that’s just
the start of his
voluminous repertoire for
the keyboard! I was happy
just to write
three!!!Each of my
inventions has a
distinctive mood. The
first is in a relaxed,
yet cheerful C Major
tonality (as a nod to
Bach’s Invention
No. 1 in C Major); the
second is heartfelt and
lyrical; and the third
invention (involving a
Gigue rhythm in the
compound meter of 12/8)
is energetic, and full of
life and spontaneity. The
third is primarily in a
minor tonality, resulting
in a feeling of drama,
bringing the THREE
INVENTIONS to an exciting
finale.
