Note 73 — OSCAR BIE (continued 2)
E. E. (Ernest Edward) Kellett translation
The word “Intavolata” was used about 1600 to describe the “arrangement” of a many-voiced madrigal for the keyed instrument. Hence “intavolatura” comes to mean a “copy” presenting all the parts at one view, and such “arrangements” for clavier were common and popular.
