Weckman/Froberger: Works For Harpsichord
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Both of these composers, who lived and worked in the mid 17th century in Germany, took Italian musical models and began to develop them into the forms that would culminate in the magnificent keyboard legacy of J.S. Bach. "Toccata" comes from the Italian verb meaning "to play an instrument," and also "to touch." In this musical context, it takes the form of a transcribed improvisation, such as a great performer would be expected to create when trying out a new instrument for the first time. A suite, on the other hand, is simply a collection of dance movements, sometimes preceded by an overture. Both of these musical forms, toccata and suite, persist to this day, but here you can discover them in all of their innocence and freshness, as something totally new in music. --David Hurwitz
