Aaron Edward Carpene (organ/harpsichord)About
Only one extant copy of this important print is known today, fortunately preserved in the Museo Civico Bibliografico Musicale of Bologna (with the catalogue n. BB. 201/1,2,3,4). It contains nineteen compositions – an unusual number for prints of that time - and the lack of a clear distinction among the forms suggests that this was in fact a collection of works compiled previously over a lengthy period.
In this instrumental collection, as in the vocal works, one notes Quagliati’s perfect mastery of the contrapuntal techniques which he would have studied in his youth in the Veneto. At the same time, we may note his experimentation with new constructive solutions in instrumental writing: Quagliati’s treatment generally goes beyond the traditional techniques of contrapuntal elaboration of a subject leading to further inventions and surprises, typical of compositions falling under the terminology of “capriccio”.
Organ: Luca Neri (1646-1650).
Harpsichord: Andrea di Maio, 2000.
