The Baroque Pianist
Vapaavuori Pekka, Hynninen Hannele

Baroque music maintains an undisputed position in the teaching of the piano, and over the years has been taught and played in various ways. Evidence of this are the numerous editions of baroque music, each with its own interpretation reflecting the personal views of the editor.
However, increasing often these edited publications have been abandoned in favour of the original source, the score as it was written down by the composer. One is then confronted by the problem of how to reveal the colorful performance practice of the baroque era in the apparently barren Urtext notation. It was in the apparently impossible to notate that performance practice acurately.
