Some important features of the book

• The fingerings are based on the technique prevalent throughout Europe from the second half of the 17th century till the 2nd half of the 18th century, i.e. the heyday of the Baroque musical era.
• This technique allows playing with old fingerings even the most difficult pieces of the time, including J.S. Bach: evidence shows that he is most likely to have played with ancient fingerings.
• The fingering system has been tested by decades of successful public performance, including technically demanding works such as Bach's concertos for harpsichord and strings.
