The print „IL PRIMO LIBRODELLE SONATE DI CHITTA-RASPAGNOLA“(Milano,1671) by Michele Platano contains 10 sonatas for baro-que guitar, which recentlyhas been discovered by Mi-chael Freimuth at the austri-an Staatsarchiv (Vienna).Michele Platano as well ashis „Libro Primo“ were com-pletely unknown to musiciansand scholars until now. The music is pleasing and not todifficult to play. Eight sonatas are written in standard guitar tuning, two sonatas ask for scordaturas. Most of the single pieces are unique and without concordances in other manuscripts or printings. This new edition of Platano’s „LibroPrimo“ is certainly welcome as an enrichement of the musical repertoire for baroque guitar.weiterlesen
