Recent Researches in the Music of the Classical Era

Georg Joseph Vogler
Pièces De Clavecin (1798) and Zwei und Dreisig Präludien (1806)
Edited by Floyd K. Grave

Abbé Vogler reveals a complex and adventurous personality in these two sets of keyboard music. While Pièces de clavecin features textural novelty in variations on melodies purportedly of Scandinavian, Russian, African, and Chinese origin, Zwei und dreisig Präludien (designed for either organ or piano and supplied with optional pedal parts) blends echoes of current chamber and theater styles with far-reaching excursions into realms of chromatic harmony and motivic elaboration.
