Musicology:

Toccata No.6, FbWV106
Key: G-
Year: before 1649
Genre: Other Keyboard
Pr. Instrument: Keyboard

This is the last of Froberger's six toccatas in his Libro Secondo of 1649. Like FbWV 105 this toccata is written in the style of Frescobaldi's toccatas for the elevation. Such pieces were played during the elevation of the host during the communion portion of the Catholic mass. These pieces are well-suited to the solemn nature of their liturgical function. They never get particularly agitated though they do express a subdued mystical passion.
