Thirty Sonatas and a Pastorela, 1744
Edited by Almonte Howell
SET045 Rodríguez: Toccatas for Harpsichord
This edition is a set of two volumes, each sold separately.
On the basis of a single published piece taken from his 1744 manuscript collection of harpsichord works, Libro de tocatas para cimbalo, Rodríguez has been widely recognized as the first native Spanish composer of sonatas. This modern edition presents the complete manuscript collection, yielding pieces that are animated, sparkling, highly original, and imbued with Spanish flamboyance.
