Dear Friends, Most recently I recorded and presented to you a suite for
   baroque lute in g-minor (Allemande, Menuet, Courante, Gavotte, Guigue)
   composed by Matthias Siegmund Biechteler von Greiffenthal (1668-1743)
   from the Harrach Manuscript, Vienna, Austria. Biechteler started his
   carrier as valet and musician in 1687 in Salzburg. In 1706 he became
   court music director in Salzburg. It was Biechteler, who introduced
   Leopold Mozart to the Salzburg court music. Apparently, solo lute music
   by Biechteler is less known to the audience.

   To complete the picture if Biechteler, today I recorded a "Prelude de
   monsieur Piectele" in B Major and a "Prelude de monsieur Piectele" in g
   minor from the manuscript PL-Kj MUS 40620 (olim: Berlin). This
   manuscript booklet contains several Preludij by Biechteler
   ("Biectele"), apparently composed by Biechteler as additional and
   opening pieces to suites of other composers such as Johann Anton Losy
   (1650 - 1721). Eventually, he used his complementary pieces as
   excercises for students as inscrips such as "Aria de monsieur Biectele
   mon tres cher Maistre" tell us.
