CAPRICCI (1624-1642)
Notes: The entire content of RECERCARI was appended to the second, 1626 edition of the CAPRICCI. Furthermore, one work from the 1624 edition, F 4.07, was removed. No changes of content were introduced in the subsequent editions of 1628 and 1642, although the later editions differ in small details; see Darbellay (1988). A photographic copy of Capricci (1624) can be seen at: http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/a/ae/IMSLP88760-PMLP181692-Frescobaldi_CapricciBook1.pdf

FANTASIE (1608)
Notes: The first of Frescobaldi’s canonic keyboard publications was never republished in his lifetime and only a single copy is extant (in Bologna). Fewer manuscript copies survive than for any of the other publications. One of those copies, Berlin L121, was formerly believed to be in the hand of Bernardo Pasquini but that attribution has now been discredited.

RECERCARI (1615-1642)
Notes: The Recercari (1615), containing 10 recercars and 5 canzonas, were republished in 1618 without change of content. In 1626 the contents of the Recercari and the Capricci were published together (see CAPRICCI (1624-1642)) and this joint publication appeared in a new edition in 1642.

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.
