Monumenti Musicali Italiani XXIX. Par FRESCOBALDI GIROLAMO. 'Le volume est le dernier de la série des Monumenti Musicali Italiani dédiée à Frescobaldi, publiée sous les auspices de la Società Italiana di Musicologia. Il réunit l'héritage manuscrit du compositeur, centré principalement sur la musique de clavier et quelques pièces instrumentales ou vocales inédites, oeuvres authentiques ou d'attribution douteuse. Une investigation systématique dans les archives publiques et privées ainsi qu'une minutieuse enquête philologique ont permis de présenter pour la première fois des pages frescobaldiennes sans concordance ou avec des concordances partielles, inconnues ou inédites, ou des versions authentiques, mais différentes de celles connues. L'ouvrage se compose de trois volumes: l'un de Textes introductifs, divisé en sept chapitres et de nombreux paragraphes et sous-paragraphes, accompagnés d'une vaste gamme de notes explicatives, de nombreuses tables et reproductions que suit l'appareil critique : et deux volumes de Musiques totalisant presque 500 pages dans le format paysage habituel, facile pour les artistes. Un CD contenant les textes en français (intégralité) et en anglais (Préfaces) est joint au volume des Textes. Ce travail totalise plus de 1000 pages avec trois volumineux index (formes / genres, musiques aussi bien dans l'appareil critique que dans la musique), et d'abondantes illustrations en facsimile.

The Library Of Baroque Music is an enormously expansive collection of the greatest works produced during that prolific period that flourished between the Renaissance and Classical eras. All arranged for solo Piano, this volume features works drawn from all the major Baroque composers, including some of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. The progression and development of music during the Baroque period can be heard in these pieces, providing you not only with a window into musical history, but also many exciting additions to your repertoire. The retrospective 'Baroque' label was applied to a diverse range of European compositions-often combining a spirit of experimentation with elaborate new musical structures. Dominated primarily by the Harpsichord and Organ, this period also saw the rise and development of larger-scale forms such as the concerto and oratorio. This superb volume is comprised of Keyboard and ensemble works from all the major Baroque composers, arranged for Piano. Featuring Arne, Boyce, Buxtehude, Corelli, Couperin, Gibbons, Lully, Pachelbel, Purcell, Rameau and Vivaldi, the composers here include some of the most respected and revered figures in musical history. The Library Of Baroque Music spans compositions of many of these masters, ranging from Frescobaldi in the early 1600s to Pergolesi a century later, and the famous three - J.S. Bach, Handel and Domenico Scarlatti.Baroque music, so called for its ornateness, was characterised by a bold exploration of counterpoint and new harmonic possibilities. This was variously expressed through the work of perhaps fifty or so major European composers. By the time Baroque began to segue into a new Classical period around 1750 it had already irrevocably changed and expanded the possibilities of music. The works that precipitated this change are available to play in this single volume, perfect for pianists looking to expand their repertoire with both challenging and exciting music.In this thoroughly enjoyable Library Of Baroque Music, the triumphant progression of this period is illustrated in the best possible way - through the compositions themselves, forming the definitive Baroque collection for solo pianists. / Piano
