Speer fully exploited the range of keys of his time and was the first to arrange his keyboard works in a cycle according to minor and major thirds (1. D major, 2. B minor, 3. G major, 4. E minor, 5. C major, 6. A minor, 7. A major, 8. F major, 9. D minor, 10. B-flat major, 11. G minor, 12. E-flat major, 13. C minor). In the presented book this applies to the following types of keyboard works: Suits (Partitas), Preludes, Toccatinas, Toccatas, Intonation Fugues and Fugues. He is thus considered one of the early forerunners of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
