Maestro Lauro wrote the impressive Suite Venezolana, consisting of Registro (Prelude), Danza Negra, Canción, and Vals, during his imprisonment in 1951-52. The curiously named first movement, Registro, refers to the sort of improvising (registrar) a musician might do to warm up his hands or to explore a new or unfamiliar instrument; it is therefore equivalent to the Italian term ricercare as it was used originally used in the Renaissance.
One of my favourites - you really caught the improvisatory feel to it 'equivalent to the Italian term ricercare as it was used originally used in the Renaissance.' I didnt know this - thanks for the info.
