[HANASHIR:7031] Re: Sheet Music

For harpsichord keyboard technique up through the time of Bach musicians did 
not use thumbs for playing and in fact used an entirely different hand 
position with the wrists quite high.  There are some harpsichord teachers who 
currently teach their students (especially their early music specialists) to 
play with this technique.  You may want to contact early music 
harpsichordists for specific repertoire suggestions.  Good luck in your 
therapy.
