1 Introduction
M AURIZIO C AZZATI was born in Luzzara, in the duchy of Guastalla (Northern
Italy), in 1616. In sprite of being almost unknown today, during his lifetime
he served as a successful and extimed music director in many cities near his
birthplace: Mantua, Bozzolo, Ferrara and Bergamo. He was so thought that in
1657 he was invited to take the position of Maestro di Cappella in S.Petronio in
Bologna, without needing to apply for it. Immediately after his appointment
he made some radical reforms that won him a general hostility from the musical community and led him to personal conflicts with other members of the
Cappella. In particular, he was bitterly criticized by Lorenzo Perti and Giulio
Cesare Arresti, that questioned on his capability as Maestro. Likely, as Cazzati
later declared, they where just jealous of his position. In 1671 he was removed
from his position and returned to Mantua, where he served the Duchess Isabella as Maestro di Cappella da Camera until his death, in 1678. While being
only a small portion of his enormous printed output (66 printed volumes), his
instrumental music is the most important and influential part.

2 Notes on the present edition

All the original tempo markings and note values have been retained, except
for black whole notes, indicating hemioli, which are changed to white ones.
The same is done for repeat markings, which are left in the original form and
position.
The source never indicates an anacrusis, starting the first measure with rests,
and it has been added where necessary (see the critical notes).
No attempt is done to correct the authors errors, such as parallel fifths (see
num. 5, bar 34), only some evident print errors are corrected.

3 Notes on Accidentals
All key signatures have been converted to current use, even when none is given
in the source (refer to the critical notes).
As a common practice in the seventeenth century accidentals are specified for
all the notes that need to be altered, generally even for consecutive notes, but
a lot of exceptions occur, and some interpretation becomes necessary. In this
edition no accidental have been added or removed, except some obvious case
which is noted in the critical notes. In all the other cases alterations are suggested using small print above notes when it becomes necessary, leaving the
interpretation to the performer.
