The Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online

Berlin 6615

Full Title: Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, Mus. Ms. 6615

Provenance and Date: Berlin, c. 1760
Time Frame: 1700-1800
RISM ID: 452019000

Notes: Scribe: Johann Friedrich Agricola. In earlier literature, including Riedel (1987) the scribe is identified as Forkel, but see Ishii, p. 59, n40. Berlin 6615 originally was a fascicle of Berlin 6715, but became separated at some point in its history. This is one of four related Berlin MSS from the Bach circle (SA 3266, 6615, 30145 and AmB 459) that contain 16 Frescobaldi ricercares from Recercari (F 9.01 to 9.19) and Fiori musicali (F 12.15, 12.19, 12.30, 12.34, 12.42, and 12.44). On these sources and their mutual relationships, see Ishii (2013), in particular, p. 115-131.
