The Bärenreiter Baroque Piano Album presents a representative selection of the major forms of Baroque clavier music from England Italy France and Germany .

The volume begins with the Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi whose keyboard works exemplify the stylistic transition from the Renaissance to theBaroque.
