This up-to-date, comprehensive survey of Baroque keyboard music includes works by 42 composers written between 1590 and 1750. The repertoire provides the widest range of styles and idioms of that period, and ranges in difficulty from late-intermediate through early-advanced levels. Dr. Hinson has also provided historical and biographical background, performance notes and suggested realizations of ornaments.

Telemann composed three dozen Fantasias, published in 1732. He deliberately set out to juxtapose the French and Italian styles.

Concise and thoroughly researched, thousands of works, from the Baroque through the Contemporary periods, have been graded and evaluated in detail.

These elementary pieces are based on an unusual idea: all the white-note modes are used, interspersed with pieces in modes derived for the black notes; and the final piece introduces an element of bitonality, with the left hand on the white notes and right hand on the black. The composer has also incorporated a number of different forms.
