V-Help me I don't know what he's talking about

Dear Pynchonphiles,  (sounds vaguely obscene huh?)

In reference to Schoenmaker being comparing his art  to that of Tagliacozzi,
I just realized I have no idea who Tagliacozzi is.  Can anyone enlighten me?
 I found no reference to him in my Groliers and it's Sunday, the library is
closed.


Also I love the second paragraph of chapter 4:

"Captured in the score's black symbols, given life by vibrating air columns
and strings,having taken passage through transducers, coils, capacitors, and
tubes to a shuddering paper cone, the eternal drama of love and death
continued to unfold entirely disconnected from this evening and place."

A great description of the "Romeo and Juliet Overture" being played over a
transistor radio. A-and a foreshadowing of the technique of going from
extreme close-up to wide shot in the blink of an eye that we see in GR.
 Especially the passage about Katje's ancestor firing his weapon at the dodo
bird.
