Sources of keyboard
music to 1660
1. General.
The
following lists include sources up to about 1660, divided into broad
geographical areas, and further divided within those areas into manuscript and
printed sources arranged chronologically. The geographical divisions are
somewhat unequal, section (iii) in particular covering a very wide area; but to
separate even Poland from this division would have caused difficulties in
connection with sources from such places as Breslau (Wrocław), Danzig
(Gdańsk) or Thorn (Toruń), especially with a manuscript actually carrying
a German inscription. By and large this division represents the sphere of
influence of German organ tablature (old and new), though not all the sources
cited make use of it, and there are some exceptional instances of letter
notation outside the Germanic sphere. At the other end of the scale is the very
small list of sources from the Low Countries, where it was nevertheless felt
that this area had to be distinguished from the Germanic on the one hand and
from the French on the other. Sources are listed under their area of origin,
and not according to their contents nor even by the nationality of their
scribe; thus the Netherlands section includes GB-Och 89, which may have
been written by Richard Dering, and the third section has autographs of the
Belgian composer Samuel Mareschall, which were written in German tablature in
Basle.
The
choice of terminal date was fairly obvious in the case of England, where the
restoration of the monarchy introduced a new cultural epoch. There were
advantages in choosing the same date for all countries, in view of the frequent
copying of works from one country into manuscripts of another; and in fact the
extension of the limits of these lists to 1660 has permitted the inclusion of a
number of sources of a broadly retrospective character from about that date.
But because of the difficulty of applying a rigid cut-off date, a selection of
later manuscripts carrying a mainly earlier repertory has been given in the
appendix to the appropriate list.
Sources
not primarily intended for keyboard players are enclosed within square
brackets. They include most (but not all) of the listed publications in
separate partbooks, and are included if performance on a keyboard instrument is
mentioned as a possibility on the title-page or if they are of particular
importance in the history of keyboard music. Most works published in open score
were intended primarily for keyboard, even though this was not always made
clear on the title-page; but this was not always the case, and a few such works
are therefore enclosed in square brackets. Many works intended originally for
vocal or instrumental ensemble could be performed on a keyboard instrument, but
they would normally have been embellished, sometimes heavily. A number of works
survive in both forms.
Manuscripts
are denoted by their present location, followed by the provenance and scribe if
known, and a date, approximate or exact. However, manuscripts once belonging to
the Musikabteilung of the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, but currently in
Kraków, Biblioteka Jagiellońska, are marked *. While every effort has been
made to verify the locations and pressmarks of eastern European sources, some
of these may now be obsolete. Printed collections are preceded by the name of
the publisher, who for the present purpose is regarded as editor of the
collection. There follows a brief characterization of the source and its
contents.
Separate
partbooks are indicated by a series of separate foliations, e.g. 16, 14, 14, 13
ff., or 4 x 16 ff. The sign ‘+’ connects different sections of the same volume.
Keyboard
sources are on two staves (‘keyboard score’) unless otherwise noted. Further
subdivisions of this category are not noted. Other methods of notation are
described as follows: open score (sometimes called ‘keyboard partitura’); OGT
is old German tablature (upper part in staff notation, lower part or parts in
letters); NGT is new German tablature (entirely in letters); ST is Spanish
tablature (in figures: the various systems are not distinguished here).
A
film of the source in the collection of the Deutsches Musikgeschichtliches
Archiv, Kassel, is indicated ‘DMA’. Modern editions are then cited. The entry
is completed by references to literature other than published library
catalogues.

appendix
There are a number of retrospective French sources of the later
17th century. Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Vm7674–5, the
‘Bauyn MS’, is sometimes dated c1660 but is probably a little later: it
includes music by Froberger, L. Couperin, Chambonnières and many others (facs.
edn by F. Lesure, Geneva, 1977). Others include Paris, Bibliothèque
Nationale, Vm71817bis (‘Thomelin MS’, c1680); Paris,
Bibliothèque Nationale, fonds du Conservatoire Rés.89ter (autograph of
D’Anglebert); Paris, Bibliothèque Ste Geneviève, 2350, 2354, 2356, 2357;
and Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, 1503. A number of later
17th-century sources are discussed by A. Curtis: ‘Musique classique française à
Berkeley’, RdM, lvi (1970), 123–64; these include the ‘Parville MS’
(Berkeley, California, US-LAum, MS778, not before 1689 but including
numerous works by L. Couperin)
