I unterstand the point, but he was (at last so I unterstand) also an
active performer. And: the Bergamasca variations for keyboard by
Frescobaldi come in the print publication with a remark that you will
have learned a lot after you have played them through. Would that make
them mere pedagocial stuff?
As for the longest non-variation piece for lute: this is (mit an
Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit) either the Gavotta nimis
endlesslia by Irenaeus Taubengraus or the third movement from
Donnerstag aus Lärm by this contemporary composer... What was his
Name... Expedit ex Memoria..

Wasn't Vincenzo known mostly as a theoretician? Should we see
this more
as a treatise on writing variations than intended for public
performance?

So what's the longest non-variation piece?
