Excellent compilation of standard Purcell works,

This review is from: Keyboard Works (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)
These works are very easy generally speaking (unless you know when to add appropriate ornamentation) and rewarding to play as piano (especially in this former case for students!) and organ in addition to harpsichord and clavichord material.
Although I'm personally not a Purcell (nor a Händel) enthusiast, this little volume is well worth having in any musician's library. GET IT!!

This review is from: Keyboard Works (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)
This is a great compilation of the keyboard music of Purcell. The book includes works that are both authentic and non-authentic by the composer. It is worth mentioning that this is not a complete collection of the composer's keyboard works. My only criticism is that the ink is a little blurry on the page. Dover editions tend to be inconsistent in their quality of printing, since some editions are printed very clearly, while others are quite blurry and have a faded appearance. Overall, this is good edition for the price.
