As indicated in the preface, the study of the harpsichord has long been reserved, often dismissed as an "old-fashioned" instrument. However, the growing popularity of early music rekindled interest in the harpsichord. In Learning to Touch the Harpsichord, volume 1 being the first of two useful volumes to facilitate the learning and progression of the student, Siegel allows beginners in the harpsichord to learn themselves through repertoire pieces, taken from the keyboard masters of the baroque period. The student will be guided towards an understanding of the technique and the style adapted to the harpsichord. In addition, Learn to Touch the Harpsichord, accompanied by online audio, allows adults who learned the instrument as a child to return to the instrument and have the instant sensation of making music.
