PrefaceThis easy pieces book for keyboard instrument arises from the need that I felt as a harpsichord teacher, toexpand the repertoire for students at the level of initiation and first grades. I often use initiation books forthe piano but I recognize the need for a more specific repertoire for the harpsichord, above all, withlanguage more adapted to the instrument.The book has several types of pieces: old melodies that have been harmonized, original pieces and pieceswith basso continuo.I thank the composer Ana de Ataíde Magalhães for reviewing the scores.
