Keyboard artists in the time of J.S. Bach were simultaneously
performers, composers, and improvisers. By the twentieth century,
however, the art of improvisation was all but lost. Today,
vanishingly few classically-trained musicians can improvise with
fluent, stylistic integrity. Many now question the system of
training that leaves players dependent upon the printed page, and
would welcome a new approach to musicianship that would enable
modern performers to recapture the remarkable creative freedom of a
bygone era. The Pianist's Guide to Historic Improvisation opens a
pathway of musical discovery as the reader learns to improvise with
confidence and joy. Useful as either a college-level textbook or a
guide for independent study, the book is eminently practical.
Author John Mortensen explains even the most complex ideas in a
lucid, conversational tone, accompanied by hundreds of musical
examples. Mortensen pairs every concept with hands-on exercises for
step-by-step practice of each skill. Professional-level virtuosity
is not required; players of moderate skill can manage the material.
Suitable for professionals, conservatory students, and avid
amateurs, The Pianist's Guide leads to mastery of improvisational
techniques at the Baroque keyboard.
