Bernardo Storace, believed to have been born in 1637 in Italy, was a harpsichordist and composer known for his contributions to Baroque music. His early career is marked by the publication of Selva di varie compositioni dâintavolatura per cimbalo ed organo, released in Venice in 1664. This collection showcased his skill as a composer, featuring variations on popular melodies and dances such as "Passamezzo", "Romanesca", and "Spagnoletta". Storace's work is noted for its technical complexity and adherence to the stylistic traditions of Girolamo Frescobaldi while also incorporating innovative elements. His compositions include a variety of forms, including toccatas, canzonas, ricercares, and passacaglias, which demonstrate his mastery of both harpsichord and organ.
