1 See the thematic catalogue of Chilesotti’s lute and guitar transcriptions published in Rumore/Zanenghi 1987.
2 Pieces in this source are identified by the sequential number of the sonata in which they appear therein, followed, in parentheses, by the page number in Reich 1979, a reduced facsimile edition of the five solo lute manuscripts. Thus ‘Dresden 4 (Reich 1979, p. 22)’ identifies the piece in question as a member of the fourth sonata in the Dresden sequence, which is reproduced on p. 22 of Reich’s edition.
3 The numbering scheme derived from this continuing edition (and thus only complete for London and Dresden) gives sonata- and movement-numbers separated by a slash. E.g. ‘Weiss SWL 21/4’ refers to the fourth movement of sonata 21. Isolated movements not found as part of a sonata are listed separately with an asterisk following the number, thus: ‘3*’.
