| Added by alastair-lewis, 22 Jul 2023 This prelude to Purcell's Suite no.8 is derived from a book of music published posthumously by his wife, Frances, titled 'A choice Collection of Lessons for the Harpsichord'. This book, printed in 1696, is one of only a handful of British keyboard music books printed in the late 17th century. The music is harmonically relatively simple with no modulations, and is largely composed of arpeggios and some scalar runs. | |||
