(the) counterpoint
Kontrappuntu

Italianisation in »Sonos« (a cura di Gian Nicola Spanu), »Launeddas« (a cura di Giampaolo Lallai) and Lai; Franco Oppo, who treats it as a Frassettu of the Punt'e organu, calls it a Punt’e órganu (contrappuntu), of which he shows the usual tuning of the Kontrappuntu (in D), mentioned in Weis Bentzon and by Serrelli, plus an alternative tuning (in G) with a high drone (g).
