Pages / Format: 24,0 x 30,5 cm
Volume I of this projected two-volume practical Urtext edition is the first to unite all the keyboard works of Georg Muffat (1653–1704) and Wolfgang Ebner (1612–1665).
That the clavier music of a composer of Muffat’s stature should remain unpublished, apart from three pieces, is a mystery of musical scholarship. Muffat was, after all, a precursor of Johann Sebastian Bach on a par with Buxtehude, Pachelbel and the Krieger brothers. This edition contains the previously unpublished works in Codex XIV 743 from the Minorite Abbey in Vienna , as well as the three harpsichord pieces from Apparatus Musico-Organisticus that have already appeared in print.
Ebner was an organist and then was chapel-master at St. Stephen’s in Vienna at the same time as Johann Jacob Froberger . Later he became the teacher of the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I. A master of strict counterpoint, his music surpassed even Froberger’s in virtuosity.
Volume I contains a critical report (German/English) and a detailed preface (German/English) with sections on the source material, editorial method, performance practice and ornamentation as well as a discussion of each work.
- First publication of two outstanding 17th-century composers
- Detailed preface and critical report (German/English)
- Important addition to the harpsichord and organ repertoire
- Definitive Urtext edition
