For around 300 years, the harpsichord was the leading domestic
musical instrument and often a highly fashionable piece of
furniture as well. Usurped by the piano at the beginning of the
nineteenth century, it was taken up again with the first revival of
early music at the beginning of the twentieth century. Over the
past 40 years, makers have been getting closer to reproducing
examples from the historical past. Now, " The Art of Making a
Harpsichord" gives its readers the chance to discover this
challenging and rewarding pursuit in a way that is rarely possible
without working with an established builder. Beginning with an
overview of the instrument, its schools and workshop traditions,
the author--himself an experienced maker and researcher--explores
the various models and types before leading the reader through the
manufacture of an Italian-style instrument, while describing
historically-based working methods which are applicable to all
traditions. Just as in the seventeenth or eighteenth century, there
is no need to rely on large power-tools. This book has been
designed to provide assistance to all harpsichord makers, whatever
model they choose to make. It is lavishly illustrated with line
drawings and photographs, the latter taken--wherever possible--from
antique examples that give the reader as full an understanding as
possible of the quality of these beautiful instruments.

Young pianists pursuing a professional career face a barrage of
questions, choices, and challenges. In this book, experienced
teacher and performer Stewart Gordon offers a new and practical way
to approach them by helping readers to plan strategically and build
a secure and successful career from the ground up. For decades,
Gordon has guided young pianists through the details of how to
prepare musically, navigate their college years, and forge a career
that will provide a livelihood. In this guide to beginning that
musical career, Gordon has assembled the wisdom of decades of
teaching: a fundamental body of information emerging pianists will
rely on as they work toward their goals. His advice, focused on
both mental and practical work, will enhance both motivation and
security. Carefully balancing aspiration with reality and
inspiration with organization, Gordon creates a blueprint for
transforming dreams into achievement, and illustrates his points
with examples drawn from the lives of famous musicians. The book
also addresses many practical matters, such as developing keyboard
technique, acquiring reading and memorizing skills, building
repertoire, and balancing the demands of being a musician with
living a full life. This volume is a valuable resource for both
