The book is spiral bound and designed for use at the keyboard, with or without a teacher. It features 30 teaching pieces from the Bach/Ricci "Methode ou Receuil de Connaissances elementaires pour le piano forte ou clavecin" of 1786. Also featured are pieces to play by Louis & Francois Couperin, J. S. Bach and Georg Bohm. An appendix of recommended starting pieces follows. If you take the trouble to work with this book at a harpsichord, (especially if you use the recordings) your touch and knowledge of Baroque performance will improve."--Publisher's description.
