Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the first publication of the Purcell manuscript discovered in 1993, now held in The British Library, London. Henry Purcell used this teaching manuscript to introduce the forms and keyboard techniques of his day. It is edited by leading British harpsichordist Davitt Moroney, whose fascinating preface illustrates the collection's background and importance. It also includes five facsimile pages.
