Hi, I'm a new co-author to this blog and early music is quite new to me although i have played it all my life. I am mostly puzzled, stupiefied and amazed by the things possible (and impossible) in early music and i hope my startlement will only increase as more early music reveals itself before my anxious eyes and fingers.

I'm actually an organist that recently threw my energy on the harpsichord. I now play many kinds of music with many different people. I'm happy to discover that many techniques used on the organ can be used on the harpsichord too (and many cannot - still happy, and learning). I hope you will find your time to comment and discuss my following post on these and many other matters concerning early music.

Happy blogging

Sarah Peck has started to build a gamba. It's all nicely documented on her blog and the progression will be linked in the column to the right. Check out the first entries about the beginning: and how far she has come today: Looking forward to following your progress, Sarah. Keep us updated!

Hi, I thought I'd give you a heads-up on what's happening with the blog. It's now almost one month ago that the blog officially came up on http://earlymusicblog.net and we've added a number of features. We've now got the most recent scores from the Werner Icking Music Archive linked in the sidebar, a number of blogs linked up and their resent posts linked and made bookmarking on different bookmarking services up and running. Not to mention a little set of entries and a couple of design changes.

So what are the goals for the next month? Getting active co-authors and improving the blog further, and finding more blogs to link up. So please post your early music blog link as a comment here ...

A little note to Dan & David from their latest show on CRAP, iTunes' EULA and DRM technology is considered illegal in Norway according to the consumer rights watch. This is all over the news today. So publicity is coming on DRM technologies.
