Product Description

As a former harpsichordist, it occurred to me that some new harpsichord repertoire
might be welcome; thus I wrote the Suite Update using the actual movements of a
baroque suite. But I gave each movement a new twist, adding a whiff of Tango to the Allemande,
giving the Gavotte some Rumba rhythm, etc. and altogether - I had a great time!

But as my harpsichord is in dreadful condition, having been neglected for decades, I actually wrote this harpsichord work at the piano. And I have to admit that I LIKE it on the piano!!

So here is the fully pianistic version, as opposed to the harpsichord version.

To round off this book, I took four pieces from my two collections using the titles of Magrittes surreal paintings to make a further 4-movement work, the Suite Magritte
