Ricercar primi toni

This is the second anonymus Ricercar, taken from the Organbook of Matthias Rottenau. In the manuscript it is only a few pages away from the one I published last week. It sounds like it could have been composed by the same anonymous composer. The counterpoint in this piece is not very advanced, it simply creates music that is pleasant to play and to listen to. The final chord is the first indication I encountered in this manuscript that the pedals could be used. The chord is too large for my hands to play, so for the final D I use a foot.
