An Anthology of Piano Music Volume 1: The Baroque PeriodPaperback, 1 January 1992

Representative works of one hundred thirty-nine major composers selected from the keyboard literature of nearly four centuries, about one thousand pages of music and informative text make up the contents of this four-volume Anthology. Beginning with Giovanni Gabrieli's short prelude, "Intonazione," written in 1593; continuing in approximately chronological sequence with outstanding works of all periods; concluding with several contemporary compositions written as recently as the 1960's, a fascinating panorama of piano music unfolds on these pages.
