The music for organ and harpsichord of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) constitutes one of the most important repertoires in both early keyboard music and Dutch music history.  In this monograph the sources of the music are scrutinized anew and each piece is discussed and analyzed individually.  More clearly than before, the unique historical position of Sweelinck emerges, showing him both singularly aware of all the main European keyboard traditions and able of blending them into highly original consistent and influential keyboard language of his own.  He thus stood at the forefront of the development of Northern European keyboard music in the first half of the 17th century.Among the other issues raised are the chronology and inner development of the oeuvre, demonstrating that Sweelinck came to keyboard composing late in life: everything must have been written in his last fifteen years.  Finally, specific qualities of the oeuvre as keyboard music and discussed: the aposite quality of the writing, the relative role of the organ and harpsichord and the idiomatic use of the organ and its place within the North European tradition.  The book is completed by a discussion of registration practice for Sweelinck's organ music, a catalogue of the keyboard music, inventories of the dozen most important sources and a bibliography.Will ship internationally with the eBay Global Shipping Program, only. More books available in my eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/a2ztjcollectiblesllcInternational: Buyer responsible for imports, duties and or taxes. (not included in the price or shipping of this item), Like New, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Bestes Angebot, [LT: BestOffer], Subjects: Art & Culture, Format: Hardcover, Age Level: Adults, Special Attributes: Urtext, Modified Item: No, Country: Northern Europe, Topic: Music, Era: Pre-1600s, Country/Region of Manufacture: Netherlands, Ex Libris: No, Numbered pages: 713, Weight: 1424g, Language: English, Publication Year: 1997, Book Title: Keyboard Music of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Intended Audience: Adults, Signed: No, Genre: Art & Culture, Type: Illustrated Book, Koninklijke<
