About London Manuscript

Early fifteenth-century Tuscan manuscript which is held at the British Museum in London (GD-Lbl Add.29987). It contains four Saltarelli pieces so designated found on ff62r-63v, bookended by eight estampie, a “trotto” and the relatively well-known pieces La Manfredina and Lamento di Tristano. The first of these four saltarelli is the one that is most frequently played and recorded. A signature figuration of this otherwise untitled work is the rising fifth found in the fifth and sixth bars of the piece.
