First publication of the Purcell manuscript discovered in 1993 and now held in The British Library, London. Henry Purcell used this teaching manuscript to introduce the forms and keyboard techniques of his day. This publication has been edited by leading British harpsichordist Davitt Moroney, and includes his fascinating preface illustrating the collection's background and importance, five facsimile pages and a recording of all the pieces by Davitt Moroney on CD.
First-rate scholarly edition...with copious historical notes, invaluable insights into performance practice issues, facsimile pages of the original and much else of interest... piano teachers should acquire this very reasonably-priced publication without delay. * Early Music Today *
It is fitting that the Associated Board should add this to their highly regarded series of examination and educational material. The publication marks a thoughtful venture into new territory, with a responsible approach that caters for all in a welcome and refreshing manner. * Early Music *
Moroney provides an exemplary appreciation of how knowingly and skillfully Purcell put this collection together...Moroney's commentary on notation, ornaments, and, especially, fingering is both historically reassuring and musically stimulating. * Piano & Keyboard *
An excellent collection for young pianists. * EPTA Piano Professional *
