Harpsichord Method - Volume 7 Frank Mento

Volume 7 of 10This volume prepares the pupil for the repertoire that will be studied in Volume 8, which is a summa of diverse styles and historical information. In Volume 7, we continue our study of selections from the larger suites, play selections from the Wegweiser, an organ method Bach might have known, and meet the acquaintance of Domenico Scarlatti. The Localizing Notes exercises we had in Volumes 1 to 6 serve as a preparation for Sight-reading, and here are the first exercises.
