Girolamo Frescobaldi was the greatest Italian keyboard player of the early Baroque, introducing his own unconventional style of inventive harmony, quirky rhythms and innovative embellishment, and recognised as a beacon of musical excellence. Harpsichordist and organist Richard Lester explores his creative genius, with practical discussions on 17th-century fingering methods, ornamentation, organ registration, modes, tuning and temperament, and Italian instruments. Paperback edition. A hardback edition is also available here (P-LESTER-HB).
