In 2004, the curator of the collection, count Arco-Zinneberg, came
across seven manuscript books that were preserved together with the art
collection. Among them were two lute tablatures.
Christoph Angerer, musical director of the ensemble Concilium musicum
Wien, and Michael Freimuth, who is the lutenist of the ensemble, were
called in and soon realized the value of the find, particularly of the
lute tablatures.
The first volume ("Weiss Sylvio - Lautenmusik") mostly contains works by
Sylvius Leopold Weiss, among them eleven suites of several movements
that have been previously unknown, one complete lute duet in four
movements, and the suite in A that has so far survived as solo music,
but here is in the form of a trio for violin, lute and bass.
The title of the second volume, "Lautenmusik von unbekannten
Componisten" (lute music by unknown composers) was obviously
caused by the scribe’s ignorance of the music, since already as many as
four suites could be ascribed to Weiss by concordances. Other suites in
the collection are composed in a style that is quite similar to Weiss’s
style as well. Quite unexpectedly, the volume also contains four pieces
for lute in renaissance tuning, notated in Italian tablature.
The present volumes, comprising more than 260 facsimile pages, bridge a
gap in the group of sources of lute music by Weiss, complementing other
Weiss manuscripts in London and Dresden, as they mainly contain pieces
of his early creative period. The two manuscripts in Rohrau contain a
total number of 157 movements for the lute, organized in 26 suites or
suite-like sequences.
Without doubt, these volumes are of the highest significance both for
active lute players and for scholars.
