I can't remember ever listening to, or trying to play, the music of
Giacomo Gorzanis. No doubt members of the UK Lute Society will have been
looking at the 16 fantasias and recercars that John H. Robinson has
edited in the latest supplement.
Robinson says that there are many errors in the tablature, partly
perhaps because Gorzanis was blind and had to rely on a copyist. The
music is not easy but looks perfectly playable with enough effort. Here
is a shot at the Recercar Secondo !564) on page 10. (Bars 7-8 sound like
there might be something not quite right).
