Abstract

Sansoni was a player of the cornetto, trombone and bassoon at San Marco in Venice, at the court in Graz and finally at the Imperial chapel in Vienna, where he died as the senior instrumentalist. He composed a few motets. Two of them were printed in 1615 and are the objects of an analysis.
