Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello was an Italian Baroque composer and violinist. This Partita comes from his 18 Pieces for gallichone (gallichone or mandora, a type of lute). He mainly composed chamber music and operas but at some point after the dissolution of his leading positions in Stuttgart as Hofkapellmeister and Oberkapellmeister he composed the 18 Pieces for gallichone.

Although this work is at the intermediate level, once a faster tempo and ornamentation is added the opportunity for advanced performance technique and refinement exists. See the video lesson for more clarification. Here’s the YouTube link if you want to watch it there.
