Johann Jakob Froberger: Partita in g minor, FrBW618 (c.1660)

Partita in g minor 0:06 Allemande 2:18 Gigue 3:38 Courant 4:55 Sarabande This French suite for solo harpsichord by Froberger was one his last works from a long and illustrious career. He dedicated this particular partita to Sibylla, Duchess of Württemberg, his last student and final patron. Froberger was a composer of keyboard music who had traveled extensively across Europe and acquired the styles of various nations, particularly Italy and France. He had met the likes of Frescobaldi and mostly probably Louis Couperin. By the time he wrote this piece, he had settled down in the Héricourt-Montbéliard region, on the border of France, Switzerland and Germany. I acquired the original MIDI file from Serge Gerbode's amazing website gerbode.net which he dedicated to the lute. Although Partita 618 was intended for keyboard, it has the feel of lute music from the French court of Louis XIV. I shaped the harpsichord sound by modifying an existing patch in Music Studio 2 on my iPhone. I would like to thank Youtube Channel "The MIDI Bach Project" for reminding me about Froberger -- one of great masters of the pre-Bach era in Germany.
