?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 passion for the
instrument has been
apparent further in his
production of Learn to
Play the Harpsichord. 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
it. In Learn to Play the
Harpsichord Volume 2
being the second of two
helpful volumes to aid
student's learning and
progression, 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 style
suited to the
Harpsichord. Furthermore,
Learn to Play the
Harpsichord enables
adults who learnt the
instrument as a child to
return to the instrument
and have the instant
feeling of ??music
making??. andrdquo.
