Texte suppl.
It's a well-known fact. Many old masters, such as J.S. Bach, Händel, Mozart, Haydn, Durante, Beethoven, or Liszt, all learned and taught keyboard improvisation. Dr. John Mortensen's Improvising Fugue: A Method for Keyboard Artists will greatly contribute to the revival of these skills, once so essential to the art of piano playing.
