Smaller stringed instruments began to be developed during the first half of the 16th c., maturing little by little into the vyollon, a term first employed at the court of Savoy in 1523. The works recorded here provide a fine array of contrasting works for the first violins: on one hand, works from the Franco-Flemish school that had been flourishing in Italy since mid-15th c., as well as purely Italian works where motets, ricercars, counterpoints, madrigals and dances are all discovered anew.
