Abstract


In 1548 Antonio de Cabezon was able to take a trip to Italy. On that occasion, he could certainly learn and play the organ Italian. New sources and unpublished documents have recently enabled us to identify a new and reliable profi le of the organs of Italian origins. Eliminated false history, errors of chronology and clichés, the acquisition of technical data other than those handed down by tradition have opened a new historical perspective of which is here given an account. Updated illustration of the characteristics of the organs of the Italian Renaissance follow the guidelines of performance practice entailed and a comparison with the Spanish instruments practiced by Antonio de Cabezon.
