Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566) is one of the clear pioneers in the field of idiomatic instrumental music and variation technique. Blind, and an organist by profession, he still managed to travel widely and even as far as England (where, in all probability, he influenced Byrd). His work went unpublished in his lifetime, but was ultimately published in Madrid by his son Hernando in 1578.

Although this repertory is usually seen strictly as keyboard music, the present performers have adopted a more expansive orchestration in keeping with other contemporary practices (such as that scored by Ortiz). Parenthetical composers above are those who wrote the original themes on which Cabezón wrote variations.
