Pachelbel: Ciacona in D Major (Keyboard Music)

by Julius Schmidt

about

Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was one of the foremost keyboard composers/musicians of the Baroque Period.

The famous book "Music for the Piano" by James Friskin & Irwin Freundlich (1954) states, "Pachelbel bridges the musical gap between Froberger and J.S. Bach. He wrote voluminously for all the keyboard instruments of his day (harpsichord, clavichord, organ)in all the accepted genres. The fantasy, ricercare, fugue, chaconne, toccata, suite and variation all found expression in his creative work. Many of his pieces are possible on the modern piano..."

The book ""DK Eyewitness Companions: Classical Music (General Editor: John Burrows)" (2005) states, "Pachelbel was one of the dominant figures of late 17th-century European Keyboard and chamber music. Although chiefly known today for his Canon in D, he was well-known during his lifetime as both an organist and a prolific composer. His patron, the Duke of Saxe-Eisenach, once described him as a "perfect and rare virtuoso"..."

This is a recording of one of his many Ciaconas.
