Canzona II, [MT] Click to Listen, [5:8]
The chromatic subject is first expounded upon in common meter (4/4), then changes to triple meter, and interrupted by a colorful keyboard flourish, progresses to 6/4 time, ending a bit abruptly. Froberger's interesting harmonic juxtapositions appear even more adventurous in mean-tone temperament. Midi File available. Instrument: Virtual organ set from 1698 Starck organ at Monastery Church of Zlata Koruna, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
