    Among the keyboard pieces in a recently discovered autograph collection by Johann Jacob Froberger (the Montbéliard Manuscript, now in private hands) is a méditation composed ca. 1666 and inscribed "Memento Mori Sibylla." A complete transcription is given here. The work exemplifies the style of pieces to be played "avec discrétion," according to the composer's instructions. Froberger presumably intended to dedicate the manuscript to his patroness and pupil Princess Sibylla of Württemberg, in whose household he lived in the last years of his life.
