Many of the Froberger’s harpsichord compositions were inspired by the issues other than music. These works can be divided into two groups: works dedicated to particular people and programme pieces which are the descriptions of different events involving Froberger. Allemande faite en passant le Rhin dans une barque en grand peril, as a part of the fi rst Suite in e minor, belongs to the second group. The composition was inspired by some dramatic events seen by Froberger during his cruise on the Rhine which were then presented through music. In this article we attempt to analyze and interpret the compositional solutions aimed at presenting the non-musical content in the musical works. Considering the time when the Allemande... was composed, we chose rhetorical-musical analysis as the main research tool. Allemande... survived to our time in three manuscript sources: Ms . Bulyowsky , Ms. Tappert and Ms. SA 4450. The Ms. SA 4450 is significantly valuable for the research problem in our paper as it shows the division of Allemande... into 26 clearly separate sections, corresponding to 26 events seen by Froberger during his Rhine travel. Each of the 26 events has been both described in the written commentary and highlighted in the musical content. This unique record is invaluable for the interpretation of this work and provides the guidance for the interpretation of other Froberger’s compositions containing program in the title as it shows compositional solutions used directly for the purpose of presenting the non-musical content.

The content of this article is based on source studies in creative activity of Johann Jocob Froberger (1616–1667). The author aims to present the current stage of these studies, which are based on surviving sheet music from the Baroque period, as well as modern editions of Froberger’s works. Musical sources such as the composer’s autographs, copies of his works from the XVII and XVIII centuries, and the earliest printed editions are presented. Froberger’s most valuable preserved sources are his autographs: Libro Secondo di Toccate, Fantasie, Canzone, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gigue, et altre Partite; Libro quarto di Toccate, Ricercari, Capricci, Allemande, Gigue, Courante, Sarabande, and Libro di capricci e ricercati), located at the Österreiche Nationalbibliothek in Vienna; also, a new autograph was recently found and sold in the Sotheby in London on 30 November 2006. Besides the above-mentioned autographs, there are many preserved copies that include compositions other than those in the surviving autographs. In recent years, several valuable sources with Froberger’s compositions have been found. First of all, manuscript No. SA 4450 (Berlin, Sing-Akademie) and Bulyowsky Ms. (Dresden, Sächsische Landesbibliothek Staats- und Universitäts-Bibliothek). First editions of Froberger’s works are of no lesser value to the studies in his music. These sources are the basis of modern editions of Froberger’s works. Until now, there have been several critical editions of “complete works” of the composer.
