Kalivoda Suite in g-minor

Arto Wikla 31.5.2013

This "suite" is "early music" as seen in the 1720's! The pieces are on the consecutive pages in the manuscript RA-BAn, Ms. 236.R-13769, Buenos Aires, Biblioteca nacional, the so called "Kalivoda manuscript", which was composed around 1720's; there is a lot of music by the late baroque lutenists there: Weiss, Weichenberger, Pichler, ... And the author of this ms. collected this "suite" by early to middle French baroque lute pieces! Two of the pieces are by Merville, one piece by Pinel and one by Pierre Gaultier. The composer of two pieces are not known for the moment. Perhaps the author of RA-BAn himself composed these?

I just glued together my YouTube recordings of 24.5.-31.5.2013. And here is the link to the whole "suite". Links to the single pieces are below.
