The Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online

Cologny T.II.1

Full Title: Cologny (Geneva), Biblioteca Bodmeriana, Musik T. II. 1 [or MSS 11637 and 11638?]

Provenance and Date: Northern Italy, 1640-1670
Time Frame: 1650-1700

Notes: In addition to the four listed unica, the MS includes F.2.01 and F.2.06, with some variants, and all of Toccate II (1627), except for the versets and four correnti. The four unica and the two pieces from Toccate I are preceded by the statement: “Seguono altre toccate Dell’istess’Autore raccolte dagl’altri Libri.” At one time this MS was believed to be a Frescobaldi autograph, and a page is reproduced in Reimann (1955), but see Darbellay (1975-1).

+- Canonical Publications

TOCCATE I (1615-1637)
Notes: The two volumes of TOCCATE were widely distributed and often copied. Their composition and publication histories are, however, complex and confusing. Some of the reported “editions” are merely reprints with a new or updated title page. On the other hand, surviving exemplars of a single edition are not always identical. The following three editions of TOCCATE I are considered distinct sources because of significant differences in their content, as shown here after their short titles: Toccate I (1615): F 2.01 to F 2.12 and F 2.35 to F 2.37, Toccate I (1616): F 2.01 to F. 2.20, Toccate I (1637): F 2.01 to F 2.34. A second edition was issued in 1618 and a third one in 1628, but their content does not differ from the edition of 1616. More details in the cited references, particularly in Darbellay (1988), Hammond (1983) and (2002), Silbiger (2014) and in the critical commentary to the Stembridge 1.2 edition.
