' ... there is much interesting scholarship here, and many important subjects visited, ... this is certainly an important contribution to our understanding of keyboard music through the centuries, and should be welcomed as such.' Douglas Hollick, The Consort 'Ashgate has served the present editors and contributors well in a major book produced to a high standard.' The Musical Times 'There is plenty written on the subject of keyboard interpretation, but the present collection, with it breadth of materials and scope, makes a unique contribution to a contextualized understanding of the creative processes in keyboard music, and ideas that intertwined with these processes. ... this collection shows the extent to which discourses on keyboard interpretation have matured and diversified over the years. Woolley and Kitchen are to be commended for their outstanding editorial work and for performing the Herculean task of providing coherence to the collection ... The book will appeal to a wide readership, particularly to those who are concerned with the broader issues of keyboard interpretation. As the inaugural volume of the Ashgate Historical Keyboard Series, this book sets an extremely high standard.' Music and Letters
