I would never think that I would racist things about Italians in a harpsichord book but here we are: all the Italian keyboard music is "superficial" and not relevant, of Course Scarlatti father and son, and the fact that academic counterpoint was invented in Italy is not enough to make it relevant. While the English school is quite incredible even of we don't remember one name of it.

I didn't expect that a nationalistic view could be present in a harpsichord book. The English keyboard school is presented as seminal and the Italian keyboard school as superficial? I mean we had Scarlatti? Galuppi, Paradisi. Now name an English harpsichord composer. Lol. This is beyond ridiculous.

Goldberg is on page 101 of 262 of L' autunno del patriarca
A Marquez trying hard to be a Borges, especially in the beginning. Everything is forced, nothing natural, nothing of the Marquez that I love survives.
I will finish it, but it's a boring read.
