Notes on the Ricercari
Ricercari in the 16th century: M.A. & G. Cavazzoni, de Paiva, Valente, de Cabezón &
Frescobaldi, Froberger, Storace, Krieger - Ricercari in the 17th century
Ricercari are contrapuntal instrumental pieces, mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries. Mostly they were composed for keyboard instruments or lute. Their structure sometimes corresponds to the motet, chanson and madrigal - they consist of several parts / sections that perform a soggetto, a small melodic theme.
The imitation ricercare leads to the fugue.
The term ricercare, associated with Italy and Germany, means to search; when improvising or composing, one searches for possibilities of thematic imitations.
Iberian composers do not use this term. De Paiva's Ricercare is an untitled piece of music without text that is easy to finger on keyboard instruments. De Cabezón's Tiento corresponds to a ricercar. In Italy, too, the terminology is not clear. Ricercare, fantasia, and sometimes also canzona and capriccio cannot be exactly separated.
Our examples come from different regions and sometimes have different titles. Also the notations in the sources are different.
Frescobaldi's Ricercari are printed as a four-part score.
Krieger's, Storace's, and M.A. Cavazzoni's ricercari are notated in modern-style piano systems.
Cabezón's music is notated in Spanish numeral tablature, and Valente's ricercare is notated in a modified form of numeral tablature.

Los ricercari son piezas instrumentales contrapuntÃsticas, principalmente de los siglos XVI y XVII. En su mayorÃa fueron compuestas para instrumentos de teclado o laúd. Su estructura corresponde a veces al motete, la chanson y el madrigal: constan de varias partes/secciones que interpretan un soggetto, un pequeño tema melódico.
La imitación del ricercare conduce a la fuga.
El término ricercare, asociado a Italia y Alemania, significa buscar; al improvisar o componer, se buscan posibilidades de imitaciones temáticas.
Los compositores ibéricos no utilizan este término. Ricercare, de De Paiva, es una pieza musical sin tÃtulo y sin texto que resulta fácil de digitar con instrumentos de teclado. El Tiento de Cabezón corresponde a un ricercar. También en Italia la terminologÃa no está clara. Ricercare, fantasÃa, a veces también canzona y capriccio no se pueden separar exactamente.
Nuestros ejemplos proceden de distintas regiones y a veces tienen tÃtulos diferentes. Las anotaciones en las fuentes también difieren.
Los Ricercari de Frescobaldi se imprimen como una partitura a cuatro voces.
Los ricercari de Krieger, Storace y M.A. Cavazzoni están anotados en sistemas pianÃsticos de aspecto moderno.
La música de Cabezón está anotada en tablatura numérica española y la de Valente en una forma modificada de tablatura numérica.
