2 Suites from Pieces de Theorbe et de Luth (Paris 1716), transcribed by Massimo Moscardo £27.50 Robert de Visée (c. 1655 – 1732/1733) was a lutenist, guitarist, theorbist and viol player at the court of the French Kings Louis XIV and Louis XV as well as a singer and composer. Visée published two books of guitar music which contain twelve suites between them, as well as a few separate pieces: Livre de guitare dédié au roi (Paris 1682) and Livre de pièces pour la guitare (Paris, 1686). He also published a collection of pieces for the theorbo and lute: Pièces de théorbe et de luth (Paris, 1716); these are in staff notation rather than tablature and may also be performed as ensemble pieces. In this publication Massimo Moscardo has transcribed the pieces for 2 violins and continuo.
