Allegro

arranged for xylphone by Heather Corbett

A member of a family of Italian musicians prominent in the musical life of Brussels in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries but now forgotten by all but a handful of musicologists, Joseph-Hector Fiocco would no doubt be delighted to know that his music still gets performed from time to time - even if, in the case of this Allegro (of obscure origins), it is in an arrangement for an instrument that he had never heard of. Being a violin maker and a professor of Greek and Latin, as well as a distinguished harpsichordist and composer, he would surely have had an open mind about these things.
