Abstract	In these memoirs of his early years Ralph Kirkpatrick describes his quintessentially American background, his undergraduate years at Harvard, and his overwhelming first experience of European culture. This volume will interest the music-lover and amateur of early music in its description of the formation of one of the most distinguished keyboard players of our time. But the general reader will also be fascinated by a document of the classical American confrontation with the historic civilization of England, France, Germany, and Italy.
Biographical note	Ralph Kirkpatrick was a pioneer in the performance and recording of early keyboard music on the harpsichord, clavichord, and fortepiano. His repertory encompassed all the authentic harpsichord/clavichord works of J.S. Bach, some one hundred sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, and major works by Byrd, Francois Couperin, Mozart, and others. He was equally distinguished as a scholar, in particular for his fundamental study of Domenico Scarlatti. Beyond this, as these memoirs demonstrate, he was a man of broad humanistic culture with an especially strong connoisseurship of the visual arts. Frederick Hammond, who contributes an epilogue to this volume, was a student of Kirkpatrick at Yale and is himself a distinguished harpsichordist and author of a study of Girolamo Frescobaldi.
