Title: Bach-less Baroque
Review: This old friend from Schirmer is one of my favorite Baroque collections. It's a pleasure to encounter a selection of pieces that goes beyond the usual Bach; although there are some chestnuts here like Handel's famous "Sarabande" and "The Harmonious Blacksmith," there are many other things which are less familiar. I'm not a huge Couperin fan, but "Les Barricades Mysterieuses" is one of my favorite pieces. The staves are a bit closely printed in some cases, but overall it's very readable and duffers like me will appreciate the included fingerings. A minor gripe: no Longo or any other identifying numbers are given for the Scarlatti pieces, nor are there any HWV numbers for the Handel. The generically titled Handel "Corrente" on p.136 turns out to be from the 14th Keyboard Suite, and I love it to death, but I had to scope out its source on my own. I guess you could say the editor has done you a favor in making you investigate more of this repertoire. Highly recommended, in any case.
