JOSE ITURBI, HARSCHORD

Jose Iturbi seated at a harpsichord explains the workings of the instrument. He then plays compositions by Jean Phillippe Rameau and closeups of his feet and hands give an excellent idea of pedal work and fingering. This demonstration is followed by the playing of Liszt's "Eleventh Hungarian rhapsody" on a modern piano.
