L'Art de Préluder is a fascinating source from 1719 by Jacques Hotteterre. It describes how to improvise preludes adding interesting details about meter, characters, modulation, cadences and more.
In this video I take you through the book, contextualising the ideas therein with other sources and hopefully giving you a useful overview of what the book contains.
