@fizetr It's Latin for 'in the Palatine fashion', referring to the Palatinate area of Germany. I think.

@dadapopa, I believe perhaps otacs was responding to the question regarding the name of this piece. Sweelinck's variations were frequently on tunes from outside Holland, so it's fair enough to be curious.

omg he was a Dutch composer, organist, and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras. He was among the first major keyboard composers of Europe, and his work as a teacher helped establish the north German organ tradition.
