Fondazione Italiana per la Musica Antica (FIMA) is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve

The early seventeenth century saw the rise of a large and innovative
repertoire of music for instruments. Although composers of the period
had some precedents in adopting an idiomatic approach to instrumental
composition — for example, in the viola bastarda literature — the 1610s and
'20s saw, for the first time, the emergence of genres and styles that took an
idiomatic approach to a wide array of instruments. At the keyboard, one of
the pioneering composers in this respect was Girolamo Frescobaldi, whose
Toccate e partite ... libro primo was groundbreaking in its approach to the
new style and the new instrumental idiom.
As a revolutionary publication, the Toccate e partite had a heavy burden
to bear. How could the composer record his toccata style, which was meant
to capture an improvisatory sound, on paper? How could ne instill tne
idiomatic technique necessary for the execution of such works within t
fingers of the players? How could he, together with other composers of t
early Seicento, legitimize the composition of fully notated variation set
when variation techniques had previously been unnotated?
These questions are compounded by consideration of the curious ear
publication history of the Toccate e partite. With a dedication signed
1614, the volume saw two engravings in quick succession: first in 1615, an
then again, in a revised version, in 1616. The text of Frescobaldi's dedicat

Diruta's II Transilvano
When Frescobaldi addressed the dedication of his Toccate e partite ... libro
primo to Ferdinando Gonzaga, he stressed the essential link between the
contents of the volume and his intimate knowledge of his instrument
"Having composed my first book of musical compositions upon the key
[sopra i tasti], I dedicate it devotedly to you, who in Rome deigned with
fréquent commands to excite me to the practice of these works, and to
show that this style of mine was not unacceptable".4 Sopra i tasti: the phrase
connotes invention, improvisation, and composition at the instrument
bringing to mind not only the intellectual ingenuity of the player, but also
the physicality of performance. Through this phrase, Frescobaldi seems to
signal — to boast, perhaps — that this is not music suitableper ogni sorte di
stromenti. Its exécution dépends upon the geography and topography of the
keyboard, upon the player's muscle memory and physical virtuosity — or,
to borrow Vincenzo Galilei's term, his disposinone di mano, his disposition

dedico all'A.V. che in Roma si degnò con freque[n]ti comandi eccitarmi alla prattica di quest'opere,

1616. Emphasis added.

dell'errore nel quale mi giacevo, mi risolvei d'uscirne, & cercando diversi paesi, finalmente venni in
questa illustrissima città di Venetia, & sentendo nel famosissimo tempio di San Marco un duello di

di conoscere quei due gran campioni, mi fermai alla porta, dove viddi comparir Claudio Merulo &
Andrea Gabrielli, ambedua organisti di San Marco, a' quali, dedicato me stesso, mi diedi a seguitarli;
& in particolare il signor Claudio, là dove egli con il sapere, & io con lo studio, lasciai l'uso cattivo,
apprendendo il buono; & questa è stata la principal cagione, che m'ha indotto a far questa fattica,

persisted in the Frescobaldi's toccatas; see Christine jeanneret - Margaret murata, "A display

My method would never justify the business of rule-giving if it did not enable one
to play whatever work one desired. In fact, 1*11 teli you something else. Works written
for other instruments, for example, those composed by Girolamo da Udine (Director
of Music for the Very Illustrious Signory of Venice) and by Giovanni Bassano (a
most noble virtuoso), would never sound well at the organ if one did not observe my
method. In those works, intended for cornetts and violins, you'll hear every variety
of diminution, and in those with vocal passage work, the most difficult diminutions
of ali.

The art of the gorgia does not so much consi t in variation or in the diversity of
the pas ag i as it does in a just and measured quanti y of igures, the great spe d of
which does not permit one to perceive whether that which one hears has already
be n said and is being rep ated. On the contra y, a smal number of igures can be
reused many times in the man er of a circle or a crown, because the listen r hears
with great delight he swe t and rapid movement of the voice and oes not perceive
the multiple rép ti ons through the very swe tnes and rapidty of the movements.
It is ncompar bly bet er to do ne thing often and wel (especialy in doing flowery
Ornaments and pas ag i) than, doing many things, to do them po rly in many ways.

di figure si può per mod di crculo di cor na più volte ridre, & rep licare: perché chi scolta &
ode, per udire & scoltare sente tanto gran dilet o di quel soave, t veloce mot dela voce; che per la
