Samenvatting	Volume 1 details the original manuscript and printer sources of harpsichord music in Britain up to the end of the 18th century, later editions of the sources and music contained in them, and 20th century British music for the harpsichord. Volume 2 examines the origin and development of music for plucked keyboard instruments in Britain. It traces the harpsichord's role both in solo performance and in accompaniment and ensemble playing. Part 1 starts with the earliest known British harpsichord music, and the part played by William Byrd in developing harpsichord music as a major musical genre.
