What is a "ricercare"?

[toddlute]

@kmarshall008 Hi Ken; edited from Wikipedia: A ricercare (or ricercar, recercar) is a type of late Renaissance and mostly early Baroque instrumental composition. The term means to search out, and many ricercars serve a preludial function to "search out" the key or mode of a following piece. A ricercar may explore the permutations of a given motif; it may also be an etude or study. A second type of ricercar, the imitative, contrapuntal type, developed into the fugue.
