Dear Monica,
You write 'There('s) no hard evidence that the 4-course guitar was
played in Italy' and, of course, you're quite right.
But it was played in Spain, then a major influence in all Hapsburg
lands and in some Italian states as well as Naples. So I don't see it
being played in the leading maritime centre of Venice as particularly
far-fetched. And I'm referring to the figure of eight shaped instrument
- I think we're in danger of going a bit too far down the invisible
path of supposing a mandora shaped guitar was the default.
regards
Martyn

I am afraid the pieces in Barberiis are probably not for the 4-course
guitar
but - as Stuart has kindly pointed out with the appropriate reference -
for
a small 4-course lute or mandora.
Renato Meucci, Da 'chitarra italiana' a 'chitarrone': una nuova
interpretazione; in Enrico Radesca da Foggia e il suo tempo Atti del
Convegno di studi, Foggia 7-8 Aprile 2000, pp. 30 - 57.
There is a case to be made that this music by Bareriis isn't for
figure-of-eight 'normal'-if-tiny 'Spanish guitar but for a small
gittern/mandore-type instrument.
There no hard evidence that the 4-course guitar was played in Italy.
Monica
