Petrucci: Intavolature di liuto

Volta, Sandro

95262

Ottaviano Petrucci was a printer rather than a composer, but his name has become synonymous with the vibrant musical culture of 16th-century Venice. He was the first significant publisher of polyphonic music, and the composers on this disc would be not only little-known but probably entirely forgotten were it not for his editions. When the first and second books, containing work by Francesco Spinacino, appeared in 1507, they were the first ever edition of lute tablature in movable type. This was followed the next year by Giovan Maria Alemanno’s Libro terzo (since lost), and in 1509 by a Libro quarto by Joan Ambrosio Dalza. The Libro primo of Franciscus Bossinensis’s Tenori e contrabassi intabulati col sopran in canto figurato per cantar e sonar col lauto was also published in 1509, with the Libro secondo following in 1511. (Petrucci published not only music for lute but for voices and organ).
