Further Notions of Notation: Performance Practice, Composition, and Notational Formats in Neapolitan Keyboard Music ca. 1600

Ex. 1a–d: Passages in early Neapolitan keyboard music that are difficult to play with two hands. The music, originally printed in open score, has been transcribed into modern keyboard notation, with stem directions reflective of the parts in the open score (e.g. the tenor is notated on the bottom staff with upward stems).  

a) The passage for which Mencoboni used his nose in performance: Giovanni Maria Trabaci, ‘Toccata Prima à Quattro’, mm. 32–37, transcribed from Trabaci, Il secondo libro de ricercate, & altri varij capricci (Naples, 1615), facs. repr. (Florence, 1984), 82–4.  

b) Ascanio Mayone, ‘Canzon Francese terza’, mm. 34–35, transcribed from Mayone, Primo libro di diversi capricci per sonare (Naples: Constantino Vitale, 1603), 22–6, <https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/501050> (accessed on 31 Oct. 2024).  

c) Giovanni de Macque, ‘Partite sopra Ruggiero di Gio. Macque’, mm. 68–74, transcribed from GB-Lbl Add. 30491, fol. 4v-6v.  

d) Ascanio Mayone et al., ‘lo mi son giovinetta del Ferabosco diminuito per sonare da Scipione Stella, Gio. Dom. Montella, Ascanio Mayone’, mm. 9–11, transcribed from Mayone, Secondo libro di diversi capricci per sonare (Naples: Giovanni Battista Gargano & Lucretio Nucci, 1609), 68–78, <https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/462582> (accessed on 31 Oct. 2024).  

Ex. 2a–b: Two excerpts demonstrating the extent of alteration in elaborate intabulations.  

a) Anon. intabulation (bottom staves) of Alessandro Striggio’s ‘Nasce la pena mia’ (top staves), mm. 22–25, in: I-Fl Ms. Acquisti e Doni 641, fol. 25v–28v.  

b) Anon. intabulation of Lassus’ ‘Susanne un jour’ (Susanna), mm. 34–36, in: I-TRmp [n.s.] (‘Feininger manuscript’), fol. 39v–44r.  

Ex. 3: Anon. intabulation, entitled ‘Verso 6 tuono d. Trabace’, of the ‘Verso Nono, Sesto Tono’, mm. 1–8,from Trabaci, Il secondo libro de ricercate, & altri varij capricci (Naples, 1615), 69. Intabulation (bottom staves), transcribed from I-Nc Ms. Mus. st. 48, fol. 33v. Red arrows show the contour of the original voice leading in instances in which the intavolatura obscures it. The upper staves are transcribed from Trabaci, Il secondo libro de ricercate, & altri varij capricci (Naples, 1615), facs. repr. (Florence, 1984), 69.  

Ex. 4a–d: Anon. intabulation of Frescobaldi’s Capriccio sopra un soggetto (1624), transcribed from I-RAc MS Classense 545 (bottom staves), fol. 27r–30v. Top staves transcribed from Frescobaldi, II primo libro di capricci […] in partitura (Rome: Luca Antonio Soldi, 1624), 69–77, <https://www.museibologna.it/musica/viewschedatwbca/&path=/images/ripro/gaspari/_Z/Z170/> (accessed on 10 Oct. 2025).  

a) mm. 14–15. The red box highlights the use of a tie to clarify voice leading, which is ordinarily hidden by intavolatura practice.  

b) mm. 54–55. The bottom box highlights a large interval in one hand, wider than usually seen in intavolatura practice; arrows show the contour of the original voices. The upper boxes show notes removed from the tablature.  

c) mm. 60–63. The red arrow shows the contour of the original voice leading as it moves between the hands; note how the stem direction obscures the motion of the original voices. The tenor e1 (red box) is the opening note of the soggetto, which is omitted in the intabulation.  

d) mm. 38–44. The purple boxes show unisons hidden by intavolatura convention. Red boxes show rests removed in the intabulation process. The red arrows show the original voice leading, again obscured by the conventions of intavolatura, while the purple arrows highlight the ‘fictitious’ tablature parts.   

Ex. 5a–b: lntabulations by Bertoldo, of ricercars by Padovano.  

a) Bottom staves transcribed from Sperindio Bertoldo, Ricercar del Primo Tuono, mm. 14–19,in: Bertoldo, Toccate, ricercari et canzoni francese (Venice, 1591), 15–9. Top staves transcribed from Annibale Padovano, Il primo libro de ricercari a quattro voci (Venice, 1556).  

b) Bottom staves transcribed from Sperindio Bertoldo, Ricercar del Terzo Tuono, mm. 12–13,in: Bertoldo, Toccate, ricercari et canzoni francese (Venice, 1591), 20–3. Top staves transcribed from Annibale Padovano, Il primo libro de ricercari a quattro voci (Venice, 1556).

Ex. 7a–b: Detabulations of Macque’s Capriccio from Ex. 6  

Ex. 7a: A literal detabulation of Macque’s Capriccio, from Ex. 6. Due to the conventions of intavolatura, the two soggetti appear to be in separate voices; in detabulating, I have made sure that a given instance of a soggetto remained in the same voice. Apart from that concession, I have transcribed the parts literally from the tablature.  

Ex. 7b: I have now added material to the detabulation, largely by sustaining the implied long notes. In addition, I have added contrapuntal material in two instances (brackets).  

Ex. 8a–b: Trabaci, ‘Capriccio sopra la, fa, sol, la’, transcribed from Trabaci, Ricercate canzone francese capricci […] libro primo (Naples, 1603), 63–6. The music, originally printed in open score, has again been transcribed into modern keyboard notation, with stem directions reflective of the parts in the open score.

The music, originally printed in open score, has been transcribed into modern keyboard notation, with stem directions once again reflective of the parts in the open score, to facilitate comparison with the works in intavolatura.  

Ex. 9b: Anon., [Toccata], mm. 4–8, in: I-TRmp [n.s.], fol. 45v-46r. Transcribed from Italian keyboard intavolatura.

Ex. 9d: Anon., ‘Toccata piena’, mm. 17–20, in: I-TRmp [n.s.], fol. 11v-13r. Transcribed from Italian keyboard intavolatura.  

Ex. 10: Broken-chord figuration in Giovanni Maria Trabaci, ‘lo mi son giovinetto’, mm. 13–14, transcribed from Trabaci, Ricercate canzone francese capricci […] libro primo (Naples, 1603), 117–22.

b) mm. 41–46  

Ex. 13a: Ascanio Mayone, ‘Ancidetemi pur’, mm. 5–6, (bottom staves), transcribed from Mayone, Primo libro di diversi capricci per sonare (Naples, 1603), 31–8. Colored rectangles show the rearrangement of material between parts.  

Ex. 13b: Giovanni Maria Trabaci, ‘Ancidetemi pur, Per l’Arpa’, mm. 10–12, (bottom staves), transcribed from Trabaci, Il secondo libro de ricercate, & altri varij capricci (Naples, 1615), facs. repr. (Florence, 1984), 126–132.
