Summary of This Score
This score in Urtext edition is intended for keyboard players seeking a rigorous working basis while benefiting from an "embellished version". Specifically, the writing incorporates elements of ornamentation (graces, embellishments, or variants) that allow exploring a more expressive interpretation without having to reconstruct everything oneself from a bare text.
Particularly relevant for developing style, this approach helps better understand the role of ornamentation in the melodic line, phrase breathing, and highlighting cadences. Whether you play the harpsichord (where ornamentation directly contributes to relief and articulation) or the piano (where it enriches the singing quality, fluidity, and projection), this edition provides a clear working tool to refine musicality, rhythmic precision, and nuance.
The editorial work attributed to Alfred Dürr enhances the score's value for both study and performance: you have a text designed to be readable, coherent, and musically exploitable, enabling quick progress while maintaining high stylistic standards. A relevant resource for conservatory students, teachers, and musicians wishing to consolidate their interpretation of keyboard repertoire.
