Comments:
"There was in Valladolid in my youth, a vihuelist named Narvaez, of such extraordinary musical skill, that upon four parts in mensural music in a book, he improvised on the vihuela another four, a thing miraculous to those who did not understand music, and to those who understood it, most miraculous" Zapata de Chavez, 1592
"Luis de Narvaez was such a famous musician, that he desrves to be (a servant) to the king Philip II, because the sweetness of his vihuela filled the king's soul with wonder as Timotheus filled Alexander's". Bermudez de Pedraza, 1608.
