Toccata in C Major

Leonardo Ortensio Salvatore de Leo (1694- 1744) was an Italian baroque composer. He was born in San Vito degli Schiavoni in the Apulia region, then part of the Kingdom of Naples. He became a student at the conservatory in Naples and was a pupil first of Francesco Provenzale and later of Nicola Fago. He held various posts at the royal chapel, and continued to write for the stage, besides teaching at the conservatory. He died of a stroke while engaged in the composition of some new opera arias. Leo was the first of the Neapolitan school to obtain a complete mastery over modern harmonic counterpoint.

I recorded a toccata from the collection Toccate per Cembalo e Partimenti. In the edition that I played from repeats where notated, which I played (obedient as I am). However, checking the original mansucript (after the recording), it seems those repeats were made up by the editor. Anyway, a nice to change to let you hear the two divisions of this Klais organ of Lubin.
