Review (PDF) Handel -- First Book For Pianists (Alfred Masterwork Edition)
Selected from Handel's attractive teaching pieces, this volume contains a wide variety of dances, several sonatinas, a suite for a musical clock and several titled pieces. Lucktenberg's edition includes suggestions for tempi, fingering, dynamics and phrasing. Ornaments are realized and a brief biography of the composer is provided. The collection is an excellent choice for exposing early-intermediate students to this often overlooked Baroque keyboard composer.
