Filippo Sauli: 6 partitas for Mandolin

Edited by Davide Rebuffa
Ut Orpheus, 2016.
X + 38pp, €16.95

Sauli was a theorbist in the first decade of the 18th century at the Hapsburg court in Vienna. The six MS partitas were written in French tablature, but the edition is on a single treble clef in two voices. The length varies from three to five dances. It is likely that bass lines were available: no. 5 is printed thus as an appendix.
