29Oct24: Completed v.3 of the Hainhofer volumes, consisting of preludes, preambles, fantasias, ricercars, etc., many by Antonio Rotta, but others by Bésard and Tracetti. Two are attributed to Dowland but they are unlikely to be his. One, attributed to Fabrizio Dentice, is by Francesco da Milano. Several are attributed to one “Nicolaj”, who turns out to be Nicoló Legname, Hainhofer’s lute teacher. Some of these pieces are clearly didactic in nature. These are mostly excellent pieces, well worth playing and listening to.
