hmmmm maybe. Or maybe no one is the best.
There are 5-6 who are.
Can you post some comparisons?
Than might cause a bit of ill-will.
I've certainly heard better perfomances of the chromatic fantasies.

I haven't.

I think Karamazov is at his best when he adopts techniques from
historical keyboard players.
His Bach Toccata (OK, maybe not Bach, whatever) has some very
interesting, real baroque stuff in it.
Very traditional, basic baroque.
Would it be even better with Bach style ornaments?

I'm old fashioned, I guess; I think the old ways are better.
Some are. Some aren't.
I've no objection to musical freedom, I just advocate "try then
decide".
I also think one learns more form one note of a great player than a
whole book of deconstructionist.

Exactly. You've said it. That why I try to learn something from
Karamazov.

As you might expect - I advocate the same thing as Haynes, sans

I couldn't agree more. It's a very good read. Although Haynes is a
strong advocate for the writing of "new" music in the Baroque style,
which makes me balk a little bit. I'd rather go to original 17th- or
18th-Century sources than try to deal with French trills in something
written last Tuesday.
