Piece of the Month - April 2002

Toccata con una fuga
This anonymous piece from the Raimondo manuscript (f.16v.) must surely be one of the earliest pieces thus named. Kapsberger fans will surely enjoy it! The opening section will sound terrible on this page because such music depends so much on subtleties of timing, arpeggiation of chords, etc. I have made a few small changes/additions to the text, indicated as usual by [ ]. I do wonder whether the rhythm of bar 4 is correct - perhaps it should be two bars with note values doubled? All indications of right- and left-hand fingering are those given in the source.
