Summary of This Method
"School for Harpsichord" is a two-volume harpsichord school, designed as a progressive introduction to the instrument. Often recommended by many harpsichordists, it is especially aimed at musicians already familiar with another keyboard (piano, organ, etc.) who wish to acquire the specific reflexes of harpsichord playing: precision of attack, control of articulation, clarity of phrasing, and sense of style.
The edition, overseen by Kees Rosenhart, offers a clear and pedagogical framework, ideal for structuring practice sessions and following a steady progression. The presence of a preface by Gustav Leonhardt adds real value: it places the work within a demanding interpretative tradition and encourages a musical approach attentive to color, rhetoric, and the sound balance inherent to the harpsichord repertoire.
Thanks to its organization in two volumes, this harpsichord method supports the student over time, from the first technical landmarks to a more confident and musical practice. It is a relevant choice for conservatories, teachers seeking a reliable resource, as well as for self-taught players looking for a recognized and lasting reference method. This is the sixth edition, published by Muziekuitgeverij Saul B. Groen.
