5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful things, February 8, 2001
By newton fisher (riverside, ca USA) - See all my reviews
Vol. 1 is, for me, a `follow along to the CD text and vol. 2 is a `I can play that' .... well, at least `hit most of the notes and just about get the timing'. Funny thing is most of my `favorites' are in vol. 1. That is must like because I like Byrd's music and my favorite Byrd's, less 1, are all in the first volume but it is a lot better to listen to the Hyperion set of Byrd [you can get here [01- 02 - 08] ... I mean there are things which should not be butchered.

I recommend both volumes ... the first because it contains wonderful things you can play, if you are a much better keyboardest than I or follow a CD and the second because one can, even at my level of keyboard playing, Delight yourself, awe strike the dog and make totally miserable the local 12 year old with green spiked hair whose LIFE is punk rock

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable for the early keyboard musician, July 21, 2008
This and its companion volume The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book: Volume Two are the foundation of any early keyboardist's repertoire. I don't have the version with the CD, having bought mine some 10 years ago, but my students and I play from this book all the time, and it's a lot of fun if you love early English music. The selections are typical of the period and represent both well-known and lesser-known composers, and the critical notes are excellent. This book inspires me to practice!

4.0 out of 5 stars Academics Only?, December 28, 2008
By Leonard J. Loomis (Thousand Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I probably will not play extensively from this work but having it allows me to see what Schott ("Playing the Harpsichord") is talking about. I'm well past the age of adding much of this to my repertoire but I will certainly use some of the forward and several examples in what I do. I'm happy Dover provides works like this but I really dislike the binding which must be 'broken' in order to use the book on any kind of a key desk. I'd love to have it spiral bound but that would likely add more to the cost of what is probably a pricey sometime reference work for most new harpsichordists

4.0 out of 5 stars mixed thoughts
Being just an `average' 'Tudor period' keyboardist I can play 3, maybe 4, songs in this book. That beats the kids who can play 1, [kinda]. ... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a beautiful music book
This is a must for all classical keyboardists. I say keyboardists because the music is meant for a harpsichord or virginal. I love it and play through it all the time.
