Summary of This Score
WORKS FOR ORGAN OR KEYBOARD offers a particularly rich anthology of pieces intended for organ or keyboard, structured into clearly identified large groups. The volume opens with FANTASIAS AND RICERCAR (1 to 13), featuring fantasias characterized by their mode, including a Chromatic Fantasia, as well as pieces based on emblematic formulas such as the "Hexachord Fantasia super: Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La" and the Fantasia "ut sol fa mi" (two versions).
The ECHO FANTASIAS section (14 to 19) emphasizes dialogue and response effects, particularly inspiring for the organ (sound plane interplay, contrasting registrations) as well as for the keyboard (touch contrasts and suggested dynamics). The TOCCATAS (20 to 32) complete the set with a more driving and virtuosic writing style, conducive to practicing regularity, rhythmic momentum, and clarity of passages, while maintaining a strong modal logic.
The collection then develops WORKS FOR ORGAN centered on PRELUDE AND CHORALE VARIATIONS (33 to 57): ideal material for exploring variation, ornamentation, highlighting the cantus firmus, and imitation techniques. This includes several cycles of variations on chorales, as well as variations on psalms (e.g., Psalm 116, Psalm 140). Finally, the WORKS FOR KEYBOARD section (58 to 69) gathers variations on secular songs and dances, followed by a SUPPLEMENT (70 to 73) further enriching the corpus (capriccio, fantasia, fragments, and another prelude version).
