Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 20716 (Also sylized 207/16, or 207-16) is a manuscript held in the Ratsbücherei, Lüneburg.

Description

The manuscript is written in New German Tablature Notation and contains five preludes, four by Franz Tunder and one unattributed. It was written by Heinrich Baltzer Wedemann.

The manuscript has been paginated with page 1 being the first page of notation on the verso side (so that the tablature would extend across pages 1-2, etc.)[Citation needed], and the five preludes are numbered from 1 to 5 by a later librarian's hand.

Anonymous Preludium[Citation needed]

The authorship of the anonymous prelude in this manuscript has attracted some musicological attention. In the 10th volume of Organum IV, Max Seiffert stated that it was reminiscent of the style of Franz Tunder. However, this weak attribution has not been widely accepted. On the other hand, Michel Belotti made a passing comment (in the preface to his edition of the organ works of Tunder) that it was stylistically similar to the works of Matthias Weckmann.

Apparently, this anonymous work has been largely ignored since it was published by Seiffert around the 1920s-30s.

Contents

The preludes by Franz Tunder can be found in numerous editions of his works, such as the complete editions by Klaus Beckmann[1], Claudia Schumacher, and Michael Belotti. The anonymous Praeludium can be found in the 10th volume of Organum IV, edited by Max Seiffert

Note: The Schumacher edition states that the first piece is on two pages, f.1v-2r, however, a facsimile shows that the final system of the first Prelude extends accross the next two pages[2].
