Muffat / Ebner Complete Works for Keyboard (Organ) Volume II
This two-volume practical Urtext edition is the first edition to unite all the works firmly or loosely attributed to Georg Muffat (1653–1704) and Wolfgang Ebner (1612–1665).
It is a curiosity of musical scholarship that the clavier music of a composer of Georg Muffat’s stature should remain unpublished apart from three pieces. Muffat , after all , was no less significant than Buxtehude, Pachelbel and the Krieger brothers as a forerunner of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Wolfgang Ebner was organist and later “Kapellmeister” at St. Stephen’s in Vienna at the same time as Johann Jacob Froberger. He taught the future Habsburg emperor Leopold I and wrote music that was the equal of Froberger’s in virtuosity and contrapuntal rigour.
The second volume of this edition contains three partitas and a toccata by Muffat and several toccatas, contrapuntal works, variations and partitas by Ebner. Like the first volume, it includes a critical report, a list of sources, and a detailed preface with sections on editorial method, performance practice, ornamentation, and commentaries on individual works.
