| Description |
Sewn in plain wrappers. Facsimile of the edition of 1695. "With great enthusiasm he briefly popularized the Sistro, or timpano musicale, a kind of glockenspiel, of which he was no doubt a virtuoso exponent. It was invented by G.B. Ariosti, of whose little instruction manual Modo facile di suonare il sistro nomato il timpano (Bologna, 1686) he brought out (using the name Paradossi) an enlarged and corrected second edition (Bologna, 1695, repr. 1933, 3/1702). The manual includes 44 dance tunes for the sistro in a special numerical notation, and Troili (now using this name) later published in normal notation a separate volume of dances for it, Balletti capricciosi, e diversi sul timpano musicale accompagnati dal basso" (Grove Music Online). |
