Sixtus Kargel

The book features a selection of ten pieces by Sixtus Kargel, a notable German lutenist and composer from the late 16th century. These pieces are drawn from his 1574 publication and include four Fantasias, three Pasamezos, and three Saltarellos, the latter serving as charming variations on the Pasamezos. This transcription showcases Kargel's musical style and offers insight into the lute repertoire of the Renaissance period.
