Summary of This Score
This Urtext study score gathers a set of emblematic pieces centered around the "Thema Regium," featuring a fascinating musical construction alternating learned counterpoint, canonic forms, and chamber music writing. Designed for clear reading in Studienpartitur format, it is intended for both instrumentalists and conductors as well as students wishing to deepen their understanding of style, structure, and imitation techniques.
The volume notably includes the Ricercar a 3 and Ricercar a 6, true demonstrations of contrapuntal mastery, as well as a Trio Sonata (Fl, V, Bc) highlighting the balance between melodic lines and basso continuo. It also features a series of canoni diversi on the theme, exploring various techniques (crab canon, contrary motion, augmentation, modulations), up to more developed forms such as the Fuga canonica in Epidiapente and perpetual canons.
For further study, several appendices enrich the material: variants of the Ricercar a 6 (autograph and period print), resolutions of canonic passages, and an insight into the Andante of the trio sonata with a basso continuo realization attributed to Johann Philipp Kirnberger. A foreword and a BWV concordance complete the set, making this edition particularly relevant for musicological analysis as well as musical preparation.
