The central importance of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562- 1621) for Baroque keyboard music can hardly be overestimated. Siegbert Rampe's scholarly performing edition is the first edition of Sweelinck's complete keyboard works which differentiates between works of certain authenticity, works of uncertain authenticity and doubtful works. The eight volume edition, complete with commentaries in German and English, reflects the latest state of scholarly research.

Volume 11.2 completes the publication of the Urtext edition. Volumes 11.1 and 2 include all fantasias and echo fantasias which have survived under Sweelinck's name or are attributed to him, ricercari, a capriccio and a fuga. The appendix con tains four further fantasjas. In addition, several compositions are published for the first time in different, presumably original versions.
