Album notes for El Arte de Tañer
A closer look at Cabezón's famous pavanne that probably isn't a pavanne and maybe not even by Cabezón.

This catchy dance piece with variations originates from a music book published in 1577 by the Spanish organist Luis Venegas de Henestrosa. The piece is attributed to "Antonio", and this, sort of insider information, has been interpreted by music researchers throughout the years as a reference to the contemporary Spanish organist Antonio de Cabezón. To what degree this is true has already been discussed a lot of times, but it's probable that Antonio de Cabezón had a greater name than Henestrosa himself at that time, not least in those circles where the potential buyers of the music book were to be found.
"Antonio" may therefore have worked as a musical teaser for the publication.

Noter til CD'en Kunsten at røre
Et kig på Cabezón's berømte pavanne der vist nok ikke er en pavanne og måske heller ikke af Cabezón.

Denne iørefaldende dansesats med variationer stammer fra en nodebog udgivet i 1577 af den spanske organist Luis Venegas de Henestrosa. Satsen er tilskrevet "Antonio", og denne indforståede oplysning har mange musikforskere gennem årene tolket som en henvisning til den samtidige spanske organist Antonio de Cabezón. Hvorvidt det er rigtigt, er allerede blevet diskuteret mange gange, men det er sansynligt at Antonio de Cabezón dengang var et større navn end Henestrosa selv, ikke mindst i de cirkler hvor nodebogens potentiele købere skulle findes. "Antonio" kan derfor have fungeret som et musikalsk "teaser" for udgivelsen.
