+- 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.
