4 Preludes for Harpsichord, for Baroque Trio

Baroque violin, viola da gamba or 'cello, and harpsichord

2008, 7.5 minutes

  1. Substitutions
  2. Unmeasured
  3. No Thumbs!
  4. Rolling

The original work for harpsichord was conceived to be accessible, both technically and aesthetically, to student harpsichordists. The trio version adds a tiny touch of virtuosity to the mix.

The piece was arranged for trio at the request of Flying Forms. The recordings available above were performed by them.
