David Ledbetter (Editor) Format: Paperback Exercises Editorial Review
The "Continuo Playing According to Handel: His Figured Bass Exercises" is a valuable resource for learning continuo playing. The book presents Handel's approach to teaching music, providing insights into how musicians in the 18th century thought about music, which differs from traditional teaching methods. Some reviewers have found it beneficial for learning figured bass, although others suggest that a better understanding of partimento theory would enhance its value. There is interest in having a book that examines Handel's basses from a partimento perspective. Overall, the content is highly regarded, with some expressing enthusiasm for its availability and the insights it provides into continuo playing. However, there are criticisms of the book's physical quality, including the binding and paper, leading to suggestions that the price is too high for the product's production quality. On the positive side, the content is Considered a "real treasure" and appreciated by students, while others have had to make adjustments to the book's physical format to better use it.
