The concept of stylus phantasticus (or 'fantastic style') as it was
expressed in free keyboard music of the north German Baroque forms
the focus of this book. Exploring both the theoretical background
to the style and its application by composers and performers, Paul
Collins surveys the development of Athanasius Kircher's original
concept and its influence on music theorists such as Brossard,
Janovka, Mattheson, and Walther. Turning specifically to fantasist
composers of keyboard works, the book examines the keyboard
toccatas of Merulo, Fresobaldi, Rossi and Froberger and their
influence on north German organists Tunder, Weckmann, Reincken,
Buxtehude, Bruhns, Lubeck, Bohm, and Leyding. The free keyboard
music of this distinguished group highlights the intriguing
relationship at this time between composition and performance, the
concept of fantasy, and the understanding of originality and
individuality in seventeenth-century culture.
