Product Description:

This inexpensive compilation draws upon authoritative sources to present favorite piano works of the Baroque era.

Intermediate and advanced pianists will find these carefully chosen pieces a rewarding and satisfying reflection of the glories of the Baroque. Selections include Johann Sebastian Bach's Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue as well as the French Suite No. 5: Fantasia in C Minor, BWV 906: and preludes and fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier. Other works by Bach include the great composer's transcriptionsfor keyboard of five violin concertos by Vivaldi, reprinted from the definitive Bach-Gesellschaft edition. Other selections include several pieces by Handel, among them the popular Air and Variations known as The Harmonious Blacksmith: four sonatas by Scarlatti: and works by Telemann, Rameau, and Purcell.
