Toccate e Partite d'intavolatura di cimbalo...libro primo (Rom, Borboni, 1615, ²1616)

Girolamo Frescobaldi’s music strongly influenced composers such as Froberger, Buxtehude, J. S. Bach, and Muffat. Bärenreiter is now complementing the long-standing Pidoux edition with an Urtext edition in six volumes, which sets a new standard. It offers both professional musicians and enthusiasts an unrivalled musical text that will satisfy practical requirements while at the same time providing comprehensive information on all currently known sources and the history of the works. This Urtext edition of the organ and keyboard works has been edited by the renowned specialists Christopher Stembridge and Kenneth Gilbert. Vol. I.2 includes the toccatas and partita movements from the first edition published in Rome by Nicolò Borboni. Each volume in the new Frescobaldi edition contains a critical commentary as well as an introduction describing the genesis of the works, the situation regarding sources, and performance practice.
