Did Bach Really Mean That?… Deceptive notation in Baroque keyboard music
 
About the book:
The aim of the book is to liberate players from a literal dependence upon the score in front of them and reveal hidden possibilities within it, enabling performers to get that bit closer to the mindset of Baroque composers themselves.
 
The book is a systematic exploration of notational conventions, from the most basic (note-length and touch) through to rhythmic complexities, notational formulae, and certain aspects of ornamentation.
 
Reviews:
"I wanted to tell you first of all, that your book changed my life. I thought I knew a lot about Bach’s notation but you opened my eyes. It is surely one of the most illuminating books on performance practice of any composer. Thank you so much for writing it.”
