Works cited for Italian drum manuals and resources.

To find an English translation of the portion dealing with drum cadences, see: Gauthreaux II, Guy Gregoire. “Orchestral Snare Drum Performance: An Historical Study.” PhD diss., Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, 1989.

Also see my interpretations of Pistofilo’s Italian and Spanish cadences.
