Yonit Lea Kosovske surveys early music and writing about keyboard performance with the aim of facilitating the development of an expressive tone in the modern player. Reviewing the work of the pedagogues and performers of the late Renaissance through the late Baroque, she gives special emphasis to la douceur du toucher or a gentle touch. Other topics addressed include posture, early pedagogy, exercises, articulation, and fingering patterns. Illustrated with musical examples as well as photos of the author at the keyboard, Historical Harpsichord Technique can be used for individual or group lessons and for amateurs and professionals.

"Divided into two parts, the book combines Touch at the harpsichord, in part one, with Rhetoric at the keyboard (or, performance practice) in part two. The book is spiral bound and designed for use at the keyboard, with or without a teacher. It features 30 teaching pieces from the Bach/Ricci "Methode ou Receuil de Connaissances elementaires pour le piano forte ou clavecin" of 1786. Also featured are pieces to play by Louis & Francois Couperin, J. S. Bach and Georg Bohm. An appendix of recommended starting pieces follows. If you take the trouble to work with this book at a harpsichord, (especially if you use the recordings) your touch and knowledge of Baroque performance will improve."--Publisher's description.
