Par BLOW JOHN. Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 73. Edited by Robert Klakowich. Amateur and professional players with an interest in Baroque repertoire will welcome this generous selection of 25 harpsichord pieces by John Blow (1649-1708). Blow stands as the dominant figure of English harpsichord composition in the late seventeenth century, the master of an individual school that merged continental influences into a vigorous native tradition of keyboard writing. There are preludes, dances and grounds in this anthology, which is selected from Volume 73 of Musica Britannica, and also includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note. Along with its companionvolume of 16 organ pieces, K43, this collection is an important addition to Stainer & Bell's landmark Early English Keyboard series./ Répertoire / Clavecin

a-Moll. Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. Einzige Quelle für die Suite in a ist der 1704 in Breitenberg bei Itzehoe entstandene Teil einer Sammelhandschrift des Organisten Johann Kruse. Aufgrund der Autorenangabe 'D. B. H. ', die in entsprechender Weise auch bei Stücken anderer Komponisten vorgenommen worden ist und sich bestätigt hat, ist es naheliegend, das Werk Dieterich Buxtehude zuzuweisen, zumal Kruse in Hamburg aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach auch Kontakt zu ihm hatte. Unter den Buxtehude zugeschriebenen Cembalosuiten steht die hier erstmals veröffentlichte wegen der Kürze ihrer vier Sätze den ihr zugrundeliegenden Tanz-Grundmustern am nächsten - ein klein dimensioniertes, aber kunstvolles Werk./ Répertoire / Clavecin
