Live and act
Bartolomeo de Selma y Salaverde probably received his musical training from his father, the Spanish court musician and wind instrument maker Bartolomé de Selma (around 1585 to around 1616). After his musical training, he joined the Augustinian order and traveled to Central Europe. From 1628 to 1630 he worked as a bassoonist in the court chapel of Archduke Leopold V of Tyrol in Innsbruck . The latter had in 1626, after his marriage to Claudia de 'Medici , the court orchestra was considerably enlarged after the Italian model and filled with the best musicians in Europe.
Further stations in Salaverdes are not exactly known. He probably worked in various court orchestras, possibly in Austria and Poland. In 1638 he had an anthology published in Venice under the title “Canzoni fantasie e correnti da suonar a 1, 2, 3, 4 voci con basso continuo”. On the title page he still referred to himself as "Musicus & Suonator di Fagotto Archduke Leopoldus". This work is dedicated to the Prince-Bishop of Wroclaw , Karl Ferdinand Wasa of Poland and Sweden, the king's son. It contains a total of 57 individual pieces, including canzones, fantasies and dances such as balletti, gagliarden and correnti. Some of these works are designed for two choirs.
His information on tempo and dynamics as well as on ornamentation are valuable for performance practice . The workshop he ran was one of the first to make bassoons.
