Twelve
pieces are ascertainably
by Scheidt, three are
early versions of pieces
from the Tabulatura nova,
and ten can be assigned
to Scheidt with absolute
certainty on the basis of
stylistic criteria. It
was long believed that
some of these works had
been written by
Sweelinck. But Dirksen,
as co-editor of the
Sweelinck Works for
Keyboard Instruments (EB
8741-44), applies his
vast stylistic knowledge
to this matter and, after
a detailed study of the
sources, separates the
pupil Scheidt from his
teacher Sweelinck. The
Urtext edition presents
the musical text in the
form of a practical
source edition. It
guarantees authenticity,
since it follows the
notation in the sources
as closely as possible
and reproduces several
characteristics of the
notational practice of
the time.
Whoever
thinks that Scheidt did
not produce any keyboard
works worth mentioning
besides the Tabulatura
nova must revise his
judgment. Pieter Dirksen
presents 25 pieces
here.
