Within the new, three-volume edition of the Tabulatura nova, Part II is particularly deserving of interest: its introduction features Harald Vogel's extensive essay on the art of performing keyboard music from about 1600. Whoever is familiar with Vogel's outstanding accomplishments in the field of early 17th-century organ music will know that this text reflects the performer's decade-long experience. Scheidt's ?opus summum? is thus not simply continued in Volume 2, but elucidated in an even more comprehensive manner than in the widely acclaimed first volume (EB 8565).
