Giovanni Paolo Foscarini was an important 17th-century Italian guitarist, lutenist, and composer who served in Brussels, Rome, Paris, and Venice. He published several books of guitar music between 1629-1640 that explored different styles including battute and pizzicato and influenced later composers. Foscarini indicated three distinct guitar styles in his preface and may have innovated a combined style favored by later guitarists. Although his notation was sometimes inconsistent, Foscarini's works covered the spectrum of Italian guitar music up to 1640 and were highly regarded.

(fl 1629–47). Italian composer, guitarist, lutenist and theorist. He
was one of the most important 17th-century guitar composers and served as a professional guitarist and lutenist in Brussels, Rome, Paris and Venice. A member of the Accademia dei Caliginosi at Ancona, he used the society's name together with his own academic name, ‘Il furioso’, as a pseudonym in his earliest publications. His first book for guitar is no longer extant but its contents, and those of the second book, were reprinted in part in his later collections. Il primo, secondo e terzo libro was the earliest engraved Italian guitar tablature; it contains selections from Foscarini's first two books in the battute style, and an additional third book, which introduces the pizzicato technique. Foscarini's fourth and fifth books were published together with the earlier material, using the original plates but with some changes to the dedications. Il primo, secondo e terzo libro and Li cinque libri include an elegant portrait of Foscarini (reproduced in Kirkendale, p.xii). He also published a philosophical discourse, Dell'armonia del mondo, lettione due, in 1647. In the preface to Il primo, secondo e terzo libro, Foscarini indicated three distinct guitar styles: the older battute style; the strict pizzicato style, which he claimed is more appropriate to the lute than the guitar; and a style combining the two, which he particularly emphasized and which may have been his own innovation. This last style was favoured by later guitarists such as Corbetta, Bartolotti and Granata. Although his notation is sometimes inconsistent and incomplete, Foscarini's works cover the entire spectrum of Italian guitar music up to 1640 and they were highly regarded and copied in his own time and later.
