The Ornamentation of Baroque Music

Everything you want to know about embellishing Music of the Baroque Era is taught systematically and well-founded here: from the different "essential ornaments" such as trill, mordent, appoggiatura, slide, etc. up to the free melodic ornaments, cadenzas and improvised grounds.

In addition, you will find valuable information, tips, constructive exercises, historical examples and much more.

Exclusively you get a live recorded harpsichord-basso continuo accompaniment for all exercises, which supports you harmonically and rhythmically.

For pupils, students, amateurs and professional musicians.
