Reviews of
Bach's Ornaments:
A Lecture Performance
by Carol Lems-Dworkin
From The Baroque Music Home Page:
A baroque-sensitive performer and lucid speaker with a distinguished academic career, Carol Lems-Dworkin gives detailed explanations of the four main baroque keyboard ornaments, the Turn, Mordent, Appoggiatura, and the Trill, amply illustrated with lengthy examples so the student can hear the ornaments in context, rather than just reading about them. Most importantly, the illustrated discourse is based entirely on Bach's own Explication of these ornaments prepared for his son, Wilhelm Friedemann. Bach's MS is reproduced in the accompanying booklet. Ideal for prolonged home study and practice.
