Torino Manuscript : Ricercari Libro Secondo
Claudio Merulo da Correggio(1533-1604)
60. Ricercar [Secondo]
The four pieces following this one bear only the title “Ricercar,” lacking both numbers and composer names. Therefore, strictly speaking, additional evidence is required to definitively attribute these pieces to Merulo. While I possess no such corroborating evidence, as this manuscript tends to group collections by the same composer together, I will provisionally treat them as Merulo's collections.
This piece is composed using only one theme.
