Siegbert Rampe's recently finished two-volume edition takes us back to the early 17th century to discover a wealth of valuable keyboard compositions.

The second volume, like the first, consists entirely of first publications, this time of pieces by Buttstedt, Erbach, Kindermann, Philips, Christoph Walter and others. With their remarkable contrapuntal intricacy and formal mastery, these pieces invite harpsichord players and organists to diversify their recitals. Sometimes the reader is offered a glimpse of incalculable educational value into previously unknown organ specifications. Our scholarly-critical edition is rigorously based on the surviving source material and contains a critical report, a catalogue of sources, and a detail preface with sections devoted to ornamentation, editorial technique and performance practice.
