Full Description
This is a book for general amateur musicians, who may have little theoretical knowledge, or even thought much about the subject. But they are led gradually into technical insights that may surprise them! Ann Bond has experience of a wide range of teaching, from university music students to those with very different backgrounds. She has published an acclaimed book introducing the harpsichord to a general audience, and reviewed
for The Musical Times for many years. Extensive performing experience gives her a far-reaching perspective on her subject. Most of all, she has a deep love of her subject.
