Keyboard fireworksAs early as 1743, while Handel was still alive, Francesco Geminiani produced an arrangement of the 'Water Music? for keyboard instruments, thereby making it possible to perform this popular work in domestic surroundings. Then, presumably in 1749, an unknown musician arranged the 'Music for the Royal Fireworks? for transverse flute or violin and harpsichord.In addition to these two contemporary versions, this edition also contains an arrangement by the editor for harpsichord or organ, based on the first edition. Though both early sources explicitly mention a harpsichord, the arrangements can also be performed effectively note-for-note on the organ.As the surviving anonymous version merely places a solo part and a figured bass on a two-stave system, our edition is accompanied by performance material with one part each for transverse flute/oboe/violin and violoncello/double bass,plus a figured bass realisation.- Musical text with arrangements by two Handel contemporaries as well as the editor's own arrangement for harpsichord or organ- All editorial additions are clearly marked- Equally effective when performed note-for-note on the organ / Ensemble Mixte

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

Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this tenth volume is indispensable toperformers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much ofScarlatti's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families. The tenth volume, comprising Sonatas 458-506,includes the popular and recognisable Sonata in F minor (K. 466). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in the service of two royalfamilies, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre. / Clavecin / Heugel
