To celebrate Froberger’s 400th birthday in 2016, we are presenting an attractive, handy volume containing four works from his pen. A toccata, a fantasia, and a canzona invite us on a musical journey of discovery into his early-Baroque musical world. The volume concludes with his well-known variations “auff die Mayerin”, a work that has enabled Froberger’s music to succeed in enthusing pianists as well as harpsichordists of our time. Edited by Froberger expert Peter Wollny, this Henle edition will leave no wishes unfulfilled!

About the Composer

Johann Jacob Froberger

Along with Sweelinck and Frescobaldi, he is regarded as the most important composer for the development of music for keyboard instruments in the 17th century. He studied with Frescobaldi and cultivated further the genres of keyboard music he inherited from him: toccatas, fantasias, canzonas, ricercari, capriccios He was not the inventor of the harpsichord suite (as was long assumed); rather, his suites looked to French lute music for their models. His music influenced his contemporaries and subsequent generations, including Louis Couperin, Weckmann, Kerll, Buxtehude, Johann Krieger, Pachelbel, Johann Kuhnau. During his lifetime, only two of his compositions were published; others survive in splendid autograph manuscripts or copies, and much is lost. Very little survives of his vocal works and his compositions for instrumental ensembles.
