About Nicola Vicentino
Nicola Vicentino (1511 - 1576) was an Italian composer and music theorist of the Renaissance. He was one of the most visionary composers of the age, inventing, among other things, a microtonal keyboard, and devising a practical system of chromatic writing two hundred years before the rise of equal temperament. Without a doubt his music was truly experimental for its time. Unfortunately in the past he was neglected but now due to the internet accessibility he is gaining more attention from music connoisseurs around the world.
