Provenance and Date: Brussels, c1609 (for Frescobaldi entries)
Time Frame: 1600-1650
Notes: In late 19c and early 20c literature this MS is referred to by it earlier shelfmark Ms. 191. For many years the MS was believed to have been lost during World War II, although a photocopy was preserved in the Harvard Music Library. In 1982 it was discovered to reside in Krakow. Riedel (1987) states that Krakow 40316 includes 8 fantasias, a toccata, a capriccio, and a “partite,” all by Frescobaldi, but according to the original ToC it contained only 4 fantasias (one now missing because of the missing fols. 61 and 62) and a partite set. The manuscript is in two-staff keyboard notation. Dating from the detailed study by David Smith.
