  Girolamo Frescobaldi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Girolamo Frescobaldi (September, 1583 March 1, 1643) was one of the most important composers of keyboard music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
Frescobaldi was one of the inventors of the modern conception of tempo, making a compromise between the ancient white mensural notation with a rigid tactus and the modern notion of tempo, which is characterized by acceleration and deceleration within a piece.
Frescobaldi's music was a very important influence on later composers, among them Johann Jakob Froberger and Johann Sebastian Bach (Bach is known to have owned a copy of Frescobaldi's Fiori musicali).

 Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Frescobaldi
Frescobaldi is one of the most important composers in the history of keyboard music, and one of the most famous representatives of the early Italian Baroque.
While Frescobaldi's style of playing was hailed as brilliantly original and definitively progressive to the point that subsequent performers could not dream of doing other than adopting it, and his counterpoint is frequently so novel as to be disturbing to conservatives, his use of form and harmony was far too old-fashioned for the modernists.
Frescobaldi's prowess at the keyboard was balanced by an apparent lack of education, to the point that it was seriously suggested that he did not understand the words he set to music and indeed that his own unedited writing was virtually unintelligible.

 Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music | Vol. 2 No. 1 | Silbiger: Passacaglia and Ciaccona: Genre Pairing and Ambiguity ...
The bass line of this passacaglia certainly hints at a recurring bass pattern of a descending tetrachord E to B, but the pattern is not foregrounded, as is the ostinato phrase of Bach's organ passacaglia, which is formally introduced as a pedal solo and later made into the subject of a grand closing fugue.
Nevertheless, almost from the time of Frescobaldi's 1637 publication until at least a century later, several of the distinctions outlined in Table 1 continue to recur in one form or another, both in Italy and elsewhere.
That Frescobaldi regarded the association of the passacaglia with minor and the association of the ciaccona with major as the norm is evident from the way each begins and ends in their appearances in the 1627 and 1630 publications, as well as from their initial appearances in the Cento Partite.

Frescobaldi’s monumental set contains two kinds of interpolated dance: the corrente, in brisk triple time, was the most popular dance of the early 17th century; the ciaccona was a sung Spanish dance (chacona) with an infectious, syncopated guitar accompaniment, based, like the passacaglio, on a repeated chord pattern.

When three volumes of manuscript keyboard works attributed to Frescobaldi were published in 1968, just about anything bearing the master's name was included without critical examination by editor or reviewers (including myself, I am sorry to say).
Annibaldi concluded that the inscription on the part-book referred to Frescobaldi as continuo-player rather than composer, that Frescobaldi's hand was visible in the annotations of the organ part, and that the copyist and possible composer of the masses was Borbone.

This recording is a selection of Frescobaldi’s keyboard works, chosen from the three types of music he composed: toccatas, variations and fugal works.
This gives the organ works a tone rarely heard - one is not overcome by the force of the instrument; the listener can hear the music for what it is, rather than for the context in which it is played.
Since most of Frescobaldi’s music can be played either on harpsichord or organ, this judicious choice allows Booth to give the same tone to either instrument.
