Summary of This Book

This collection brings together a wide selection of keyboard works by the great masters of the 17th and 18th centuries. It features essential composers such as Purcell, J. S. Bach, Handel, Rameau, Couperin, Scarlatti, Telemann, Pachelbel, and Sweelinck, offering a coherent overview of early and Baroque music, blending expressiveness, dance, counterpoint, and controlled virtuosity.

The selection alternates between short pieces and more developed forms, making it easy to organize practice: preludes, fugues, toccatas, inventions, fantasies, suites, sonatas, sarabandes, gavottes, courantes, minuets, passacaglias, and variations. This variety is ideal for developing a comprehensive interpretative palette: clear articulation, sense of motifs, voice leading, ornament management, as well as a stylistic approach adapted to each school (Italian, French, German, English).

Designed for pianists at an intermediate to advanced level, this repertoire is suitable both for study and performance: auditions, competitions, exams, or simply to enrich one's program with character pieces. The biographical notes provide useful insight into the composers, while the glossary facilitates understanding of the musical vocabulary encountered in this type of literature. An excellent resource to consolidate technical foundations while delving into the language of early keyboard music.
