15PETTIT, WALTER (b. London, Mar. 14, 1835; d. there, Dec. 11, 1882), violoncellist, received his musical education chiefly at the R.A.M. In 1851 he was engaged by Balfe for the orchestra of Her Majesty's Theatre, in which he remained for many years. In 1861 he succeeded Lucas as principal violoncello in the Philharmonic orchestra, and in 1876 took the place of Paque in Her Majesty's private band. T. P. P.
17PETYR (PETRE, PETER), HENRY, an English church composer of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, who, after having studied music for thirty years, took his Mus.B. degree at Oxford in 1516 (C. F. Abdy Williams, Degrees in Music). He was a secular chaplain, and a 3-part Mass by him (lacking the Kyrie) is in an early 16th century MS. (B.M. Add. MSS. 5665/113b). J. M.K.
19PETZMAYER, JOHANN (b. Vienna, 1803), the son of an innkeeper. When he was eighteen years old he obtained a common zither, and taught himself to play it with such success that his performances brought a considerable amount of custom to his father. His fame spread in higher quarters, and it was not long before he became the fashion in Vienna. He even played before the Emperor. In later life he took to the bowed zither (Streich-Zither) instead of the ordinary kind he had previously used. In 1833 he made a successful tour in Germany, and in 1837 was made Kammer-virtuos to Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. He was living in Munich in 1870. (Wurzbach's Biographisches Lexikon, vol. 22.)
21PEUERL (BEURLIN), PAUL, an early 17th-century organist and organ-builder in Styria, creator of the German Variation-Suite, by combining four dance forms into a suite with a free adherence to the subjects. He composed a book of songs, a 5 v. (1613), and 2 books of instrumental pieces 1620, 1625 (Q.-L.; Riemann).

25PEUTINGER, CONRAD (b. Augsburg, Oct. 14, 1465; d. there, Dec. 24, 1547), a lover and supporter of church music, and a keen devotee for the welfare of literature and art. He was educated in Italy; in 1493 became secretary to the senate of Augsburg (the city of the Fuggers); in 1521, at the Diet of Worms, obtained the confirmation of the ancient privileges of the city, and others in addition. He was a great collector of antiquities, inscriptions, and MSS., and in particular was the owner of the 'Peutinger Tables,' a map of the military roads of the Lower Roman Empire, probably dating about 225, which is one of the most precious geographical monuments of antiquity, and is now in the State Library at Vienna. His devotion to music is shown by his preface to the 'Liber selectarum Cantionum quas vulgo Mutetas appellant, sex, quinque, et quatuor vocum,' of Grimmius and Wyrsung, Augsburg, 1520, a volume containing twenty-four Latin motets by H. Izac, Josquin des Prés, Obrecht, Pierre de la Rue, Senfl and others.
27PEVERNAGE, ANDREAS (b. Courtrai, Flanders, 1543; d. July 30, 1591 1). He held an appointment in his native town until his marriage, 2 June 15, 1574, and soon after (about 1577) moved to Antwerp as choirmaster in the cathedral. There he led an active life, composing, editing and giving weekly performances at his house of the best native and foreign music. He died at the age of 48, and was buried in the cathedral. Sweertius 3 describes him as 'vir ad modestiam factus, et totus candidus, quae in Musico mireris, quibus cum leviusculis notis annata levitas videtur.' The same author gives the following epitaph:
29M. Andræ Pevernagio
30Musico excellenti
31Hujus ecclesiae phonasco
32et Marie filiae
33Maria Haecht vidua et FF. M. poss.
34Obierunt Hic XXX Julii. Aetat XLVIII.
35Illa II Feb. Aetat XII. MDLXXXIX.
37Four books of chansons were published in 1589-91, and a book of 'Cantiones sacrae' in 1578; five masses and a book of 'Cantiones sacrae' were published in 1602. The British Museum contains one book of chansons, and two imperfect copies of the 'Harmonia celeste,' a collection of madrigals edited by Pevernage in 1583, in which seven of his own pieces appear. In addition to these Eitner 4 mentions sixteen detached pieces in various collections of the time. Two pieces have been printed in modern type—an ode to S. Cecilia, 'O virgo generosa,' 5 composed for the inauguration of his house concerts, 6 and a nine-part 'Gloria in excelsis.' 7 (See the Sammelbände of the Int. Mus. Ges. for Apr.-June 1902, pp. 466-7.) J. R. S.-B.
39PEYRO, José (17th cent.), Spanish composer, author of the music to Calderón's Jardin de Falerina (1629), and perhaps also of the music to Lope de Vega's Selva sin amor. His
411 'Master A. Pevernage … died July 30, 1591, about half-past four in the afternoon, after five weeks' illness.' (See note discovered by M. de Burbure in Antwerp Cathedral books.) Thus the last two letters of the date in the epitaph have changed places; it should stand MDLXXXI. He died at the age of 48, which fixes the date of his birth.

Hoemi poemata, ed. 1578, pp. 239, 240, où il y a deux Epithalames: In nuptias Andreae Pevernage, apud Contraconses Symphonasci, et Mariae Maeges viduae, 17 cal. juli, anno 1574. one of two readings

443 Athenae Belgicae, Antwerp, 1628 (B.M. 11.901 k). Both the year of death and the name of Pevernage's wife are probably incorrect. See notes 6 and 7.
