Welcome to the website of Pieter Dirksen!
My principal area of performance and research is Baroque music, in particular the keyboard music of Sweelinck, the North German school and J.S. Bach. If you are interested in these topics, I am sure you will find something of interest! Listed are my solo concerts and recordings as well as links to the ensembles, instrument builders, musicians and publishers to which I am affiliated. You can also find a complete and regularly updated lists of publications. For the books, editions and recordings, a list of contents, a short introduction, excerpts from reviews and ordering information is provided. The list of articles includes abstracts; a few of them will be republished online. You can easily trace an item in the Thematic Overview.
