Marco Dall'Aquila

Marco Dall'Aquila (c.1480-after 1538) was a Venitian lutenist and composer known for polyphonic ricercars.^[1] He often performed at concerts in the houses of nobles in the city, and in 1505 he published Tabullatura et rasone de metter ogni canto in liuto.^[2] Also, on 11 March 1505 he received a grant for a petition where he claimed to have developed a method of printing tablature to score any lute composition into tablature. In the petition for the grant also asked for a ban on other printing methods and imports of music scored by other methods, and for a portion of penalties paid for infringement. However, no printed editions demonstrating his method survive.^[3]
