Do either of these hypotheses (the autonomy and the fragmentary intention of the Cinque
Canti) matter in that they affect our reading of the Furioso?
This appears especially in his well-known report that Heinrich Isaac (whose music for
canti we have seen Lorenzo de' Medici sending to Pietro Alamanni in 1491), "Master of the Choir of San Lorenzo and a musician highly esteemed in those days," composed music - and in three voices (i.e.
