Dale Carr | Ricercar in d minor by Froberger performed by Dale Carr on on a harpsichord made by Frank Hubbard @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Ricercar in d minor by Johann Jacob Froberger {FbWV 411}, performed by Dale Carr on October 17, 1972, on an Italian-style harpsichord made by Frank Hubbard in 1970
This piece was copied into a presentation manuscript for Ferdinand III in 1656; the MS also contains 5 more ricercari, 6 toccatas, 6 suites, & 6 capricci. The work is rather simple in nature: no canons, no stretti, only a single subject with no counter-subjects, treated in 4 voices, leading to a satisfying melodic high-point just before the conclusion.
