5.0 out of 5 stars
Very rewarding sheet music and a bargain.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fugues on the Magnificat for Organ or Keyboard (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)
Pachelbel is famous for a single work, but he wrote a trainload of beautiful music. In Seventeenth Century performances of the Magnificat the organist was expected to improvise short preludes in all eight of the medieval modes. Or he could draw on this collection of 95 fugues in all the modes. Pachelbel generally uses short fugue subjects (typically 8 notes) to keep the pieces short, but there are some exceptions, including a few double-fugues. Most of the fugues require manuals only. (I play them on harpsichord.) Most are easy (for fugues). A few are two-voice fugues. Most will delight listeners just the way the famous canon does. Typography is superb and the price is unbeatable.
