Capricio in F

The manuscript has all the apprearances of a practical organists organ book. Today I publish Karges' adaptation of Johann Jacob Froberger's Canzona, FbWV 303. Where the original consists of three sections, Karges uses only two of them. And he notates a repeat in the second section that is not present in Froberger's original. And after the second section he wrties not one, but two different short codas to the piece. And the total piece is written on two facing pages in the manuscript so the player does not have to turn the page while playing. The repeat and the two different codas make it possible to vary the length of the playing and match it to the need of the actual moment.

If you play this piece don't expect to play something by Froberger. You're playing a piece that is very practical for use in service and can be adapted to the organist's needs even while playing. Need a hort piece? Just play the first section and add perhaps one of the coda's. Need a longer piece? Play both sections, the second one without the repeat? Need an even longer piece? Play the repeat of the second section as well. Need an even longer piece than that? PLay the longest coda as well and embellish the chords with some scales or broken chords of you invention. Or just return to the first section and then play a coda.
