Early Keyboard Instruments (New Grove Musical Instrument Series)

By Edwin M. Ripin

Book Overview

The main part of this book is devoted to the central early keyboard instrument, the harpsichord. Further chapters are devoted to the spinet and the virginal, and to those numerous if often short-lived instruments of the 16th to the 18th centuries whose names have so often baffled music-lovers in the past.
