Alessandro Piccinini was one of the most renowned lutenists and composers in 17th century Italy. He was also a proud man, who boasted of his invention of the archlute in this very book, Intavolatura di Liuto et di Chitarrone. What makes his music remarkable as a forebear to Zamboni's is his skill with counterpoint, reminiscent of his 16th century forebears, as well as his received popularity for his ability as a performer. Listen closely for imitative passages, which move in ever tighter formations, but just so that they still leave room for the performer's embellishment and inspiration. • I. Toccata XIV: 0:00 • II.

What you will often miss in my recordings is the wildly flailing arms of my beloved wife trying to entice the cat out of the picture!
