I should hasten to add that, as good as King is, my favorite performances
of the Trio Sonatas are by E. Power Biggs on a pedal harpsichord.
"Biggs?!" I hear the assembled masses cry.  But I'm not kidding.  These are
wonderful performances on a massive, colorful, faux-historic harpsichord.

Tom--there's a time and a place to be historically correct; this is not
one--Davey
