None of them
Toccata 2nda Arpeggiata Libro Primo d'Intavolatura di Chitarrone - Venezia, 1604 by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger (ca.1580+1651) This piece uses an unsual tuning: D A D G B d, from low to high. This is the same tuning as the Aria di Fiorenza, also by Kapsberger and also available from this site: this nice toccata could therefore be used as a warm-up for the Aria. To save on space, only the chords are given here, and as the title of the piece suggests, you just have to play them in arpeggios. Time is 4/4, each note being a semiquaver (sixteenth), different patterns are possible as shown in examples 1 & 2: example 1 is roughly how P. O'Dette plays it, while example 2 is closer to Hopkinson Smith.

Using the first arpeggio pattern, bar 43 would be played as follows: Ex3 ||----------------------------------|| ||--------1-------1-------1-------1-|| ||------0-------0-------0-------0---|| ||----2-------2-------2-------2-----|| ||--3-------3-------3-------2-------|| ||----------------------------------|| Nota: a few chords look like a bit of a stretch (bar 31 or 55), but they are not necessarily meant to be played like that: when writing, I cannot "allot" more than one note per string; in the case of bar 55 however, it is possible to play D and G as open strings, then A on the G-string.
