Trent M1092

Full Title: Trent, Biblioteca comunale M 1092

Provenance and Date: Vienna area, late seventeenth-century
Time Frame: 1650-1700

Notes: Trent M 1092 includes 33 works from TOCCATE I and TOCCATE II, including almost all the dances, partite, and capriccios in those volumes. The works are ordered by tono, from secondo tono (G/flat) to ottavo tono (G/natural). A presumed opening section corresponding to primo tono is missing, which would account for the absence of a couple of pieces (F 2.33, 3.32, 3.33). Almost all the pieces are attributed to Frescobaldi in the MS, but two additional works attributed to him (F 18.11S and F 18.12S) are in fact by Michelangelo Rossi, and one (F 18.13S) is by Bernardo Storace (F 18.14S). The MS also includes works by Kerll, Poglietti, Michelangelo Rossi, and Storace.

+- 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.

TOCCATE II (1627-1637)
Notes: See the Notes on TOCCATE I.(1615-1637).The following two editions of Toccate II are considered distinct sources here because of differences in their content, as shown below: Toccate II (1627): F 3.01 to 3.40, Toccate II (1637): F 3.02 to 3.38. (F 3.39 and F 3.40 were removed.)
