Extra Information
|
These pieces were assembled and arranged by Praetorius for his 1612 collection. It is unknown how many, or if any, of the works in the collection were actually composed by Praetorius as opposed to being popular dance tunes arranged by him. The instrumentation is not specified in the original, and simply listed as "à 4".
