Rubric “This ittle tune is from Lombardy, and it goes in the manner of a dance. First level [lof difficulty]. This piece was edited in pujol1965 as “Soneto VII”.
As seems to be the case with a number of the pieces Valderrábano designates as “sonetos” this piece appears to be one that he became familiar with, but was inaware of the exact title or name of the piece, so he appears to have to chosen to include it as part of his miscellany of uncategorised pieces that he called “sonetos”. The piece appears to have been a well known pavane outside of Spain.
