Figured Harmony At The Keyboard Part 1

The first in a set of tutorials that introduce and cover the Baroque techniques of figured harmony. Beginning with root-position chords, this step-by-step guide gradually introduces inversions, re-harmonisations, passing tones and ornamentation. The short-hand figures are fully explained, with specific reference to stylistic authenticity. Learn the most appropriate shapes, how they move, and how to apply them by sight in a manner true to the legacy of the Baroque composers.
