Objectives On successful conclusion of the subject, students should have had practice in recognising keyboard styles by ear and eye and should be able to locate them on a chronology of broader artistic styles.

Synopsis The subject surveys the history of keyboard instruments from the earliest hydraulic organ to the latest electronic reconstruction. In terms of repertoire, the `peak' pieces will be examined against the background of styles and forms of lesser known works. Certain works are studied in great detail.
