Antonio de Cabezón

Collected Works, Vol. 1

Spanish Renaissance composer and organist Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566), blind from childhood, rose to prominence in Spain, employed by the royal family and becoming the first major Iberian keyboard composer. Writing predominantly for the organ, most of his music has been preserved through the efforts of his son, Hernando de Cabezón, who published a collection of his father's works. This present edition of his collected works for organ or other keyboard instruments is available in six volumes from the publisher, edited by Felipe Pedrell, with additional corrections by Higinio Anglés for this well-known collected edition.
