Johannes Hieronymus Kapsberger (1580-1651) was a German-Italian virtuoso performer and compser of lute, theorbo and chitarrone music during the early Baroque period.
Kapsberger's published music includes pieces for the lute and chitarrone in a variety of forms, and is best known for its rhythmic oddities and melodic drive. Kapsberger was one of the principal and arguably more progressive composers of lute music during his time and greatly contributed towards advancing the instrument.
