Complete works for Keyboard (Organ) 2 | BARENREITER URTEXT. Volume 2. Performance score, anthology. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08460. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08460).ISBN 9790006525126. 24 x 30.5 cm inches. Preface: Siegbert Rampe.
This two-volume practical Urtext edition is the first edition to unite all the works firmly or loosely attributed to Georg Muffat (1653–1704) and Wolfgang Ebner (1612–1665).
It is a curiosity of musical scholarship that the clavier music of a composer of Georg Muffat’s stature should remain unpublished apart from three pieces. Muffat , after all , was no less significant than Buxtehude, Pachelbel and the Krieger brothers as a forerunner of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Wolfgang Ebner was organist and later “Kapellmeister” at St. Stephen’s in Vienna at the same time as Johann Jacob Froberger . He taught the future Habsburg emperor Leopold I and wrote music that was the equal of Froberger’s in virtuosity and contrapuntal rigour.
The second volume of this edition contains three partitas and a toccata by Muffat and several toccatas, contrapuntal works, variations and partitas by Ebner . Like the first volume, it includes a critical report, a list of sources, and a detailed preface with sections on editorial method, performance practice, ornamentation, and commentaries on individual works.
