Kirnberger’s second collection is in many ways similar
to his first volume (DP 7); it is different in some
respects too. It has fewer, but more extended pieces than
the simple minuets and polonaises of the first volume. It
provides a larger variety of pieces, including an
Aria with variations, some of which employ a
double-manual keyboard technique as in Bach«s Goldberg
Variations. There is a Chaconne and two pieces by Handel,
one from the well-known A major suite, the other one (a D
minor Gigue) adapted from an instrumental piece of
Handel’s opera Partenope (London 1730).
This second volume has, as a matter of fact, again complete
fingerings in the system of C. P. E. Bach.
