Title Parts


Fetis 1860 gives all his main publications :
1. Due Quintetti per serenata a due violini, due viole e violoncello. Milan, Ricordi
2. Quarante-huit valses variees pour le violon. Milan, Ricordi
3. Tre terzetti ad uso di serenata per violino, viola e chitarra. Milan, Ricordi
4. Sei walzer con coda per piano forte. Milan, Bertuzzi
[remark: Fetis is notorious for inventing and randomly assigning facts to composers, but on the other hand he was very well informed and a contemporary of Diego de Araciel, so it is hard to believe that he invented the birth of Diego de Araciel in Extremadura and his musical studies there with a monk]
