(and Beatnik delivers it, no less :) I see that I now have something to begin digging for... other examples of daVinci's compositions. There could be sheet music for it in existence somewhere, that's hopefully transcribed for modern players to understand. I've just dug out my copy of the notebooks but it doesn't have the music transcription in it. I do have an abbreviated version (had to buy the paperback at the museum gift shop, the big hardcover was too expensive!) I can imagine that short piece played on harpsichord or spinnet with gamba accompanying... BTW Cay, did you go to the daVinci exhibit when it was in Boston? Oh... wouldn't it be amazing if Thomas decided to do a retro-'collaborative' work with Leonardo daVinci!! The creative dynamics of the two very similarly-spirited artists would span five hundred years!
