- Corrente and Canzona
[5:1]
Frescobaldi is one of the most important composers in the history of keyboard music, and one of the most famous representatives of the early Italian
Baroque. Born in Ferrara, possibly into an influential family, he took up the organist's post at St. Peter's in Rome in 1608. His patrons were many,
and consistently among the highest circles of Roman society. This curious pairing of a dance movement in A minor and a sectional canzona ("song") in F
Major show a bit of this 17-century "superstar virtuoso."
