Sweelinck JP Complete Keyboard Works Volume 4

Following the successful new edition of Scheidt’s Tabulatura nova, Harald Vogel now releases his second major project for Breitkopf & Härtel, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck’s "Complete Keyboard Works". Assisting the leading interpreter of 16 th - and 17 th -century organ music is Pieter Dirksen, the Dutch harpsichordist and Sweelinck scholar. Together, they ensure the highest degree of competence and professionalism. Also highly anticipated is the method of transposition of Sweelinck’s notational forms (staff notation and letter tablature), which maintains the characteristic features of the primary sources for the first time ever. No previous edition had ever taken these characteristics into account until now. The edition of the Complete Keyboard Works is a scholarly edition for practical use in four volumes. In addition to the latest findings in the field of performance practice, it contains an extensive preface on Sweelinck’s life and his pedagogical legacy.
