Claudio Merulo was an important composer, organist and publisher in Late-Renaissance Italy. He obtained the prestigious post of organist of the famous San Marco in Venice. His keyboard style is highly innovative, and was the basis of further development by composers like Frescobaldi and Sweelinck. According to fellow organist and composer Costanzo Antegnati (1549–1624), Claudio Merulo (1533–1604) was famous for "the sweet way he played". In the 16th century the term "sweetness" was mainly related to the practice of "diminution", or ornamentation, with skilfully executed passeggiando and a "judicious breaking up of the figures", so that the application of the coloratura might confer a personal and lively chiaroscuro effect.
