General Information

Navigation etc.

This book "ranks with Quantz's Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiere zu spielen (1752), C.P.E. Bach's Versuch über die wahre Art das Klavier zu spielen (1753-62) and Leopold Mozart's Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule (1756) as one of the most important German performance treatises of the eighteenth century, and in fact surpasses those treatises in volume and thoroughness. It is an astonishingly comprehensive work ...." School of Clavier Playing, or Instructions in Playing the Clavier for Teachers and Students, by Daniel Gottlob Türk, trans. Raymond H. Haggh.

— Review by Harald Krebs in J. Music Theory 28 (Spr. 1984): 154.

The first edition was published in 1789. An unauthorized and error-filled reprint appeared in Vienna in 1798.
Türk issued a second, enlarged edition, but without the Handstücke, in 1802. (He had separately published two sets of 60 exercises in the interim.)
An abridged version of the first edition was published in 1792 (Kurze Anweisung zum Klavierspielen, ein Auszug aus der größern Klavierschule) and a second edition of this shorter version in 1805.
