Description
Zipoli Organ and Harpsichord Works Volume I: Organ Works
The “Sonate d’Intavolatura per Organo e Cimbalo” is a collection of keyboard pieces composed by Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) in his short life, and for what he is best remembered.
The clear distinction between pieces for organ – a toccata, versets, canzonas and liturgically related works – and suites and variations for the harpsichord show that Zipoli was a true master in the art of elegantly combining the contrapuntal style and traditional forms of Italian keyboard repertoire with the melodic taste of his time.
Even today these pieces are still remarkably appropriate for use in religious services as well as for teaching or concert use.
