We have seen that the Duarte family circle offered an important locus for music making throughout most of the 17th century, providing a place for magnificent performances of music as well as a kind of clearing house for the appreciation and dissemination of recent music. When the last family member, Diego Duarte, died without successors in 1691, there was only one relative left to execute his will and to sell the quantities of art objects in their home. Between 1692 and 1697, Manuel Levy Duarte of Amsterdam had to move to Antwerp in order to close the estate. It was as if an artistic El Dorado had vanished. Let us hope that one day some of Leonora Duarte’s viola da gamba symphonies might not only be heard again, but also recorded, so as to offer a remembrance of the magnificent music that sounded at the palace in the Antwerp Meir.
