This is one of the most interesting books for the novice harpsichordist, covering basic and more sophisticated technical issues. Absent a real live teacher, it's a useful introduction that fills in gaps left by earlier manuals.

I must say thank you to the author Mr. Mark Kroll, who wrote this very useful book.

He had explained very clearly points about harpsichord techniques, followed by relevant practical technique exercise so you can follow to drill further. Then he will also quote relevant historical treatise for further reference.

There are rare book talking about harpsichord technique and I'm so glad to have this book now. Especially those exercies regarding the articulation technique, I followed to practice daily, it had improved my technique gradually.

This book is the most valuble method book i've ever read. It has helped me sooo much since I bought it and i've only had it for a month. Mark Kroll needs to win an award for this book. Every Harpsichordist NEEDS this book. It's mandatory that any harpsichordist that comes across this book gets it :-).
