[LUTE] Re: Piccinini's rolls

[G. Crona]

Does it have anything to do with The Orbo? (cf. Kapsperger)

Dear list,

Is there a rationale for Piccinini's suggestion that chords, e.g. like
this
---
-0-
---
-3-
-2-
-0-
be played by striking the courses in the order 5/p, 2/i ,1/m, 3/i.

Then there also is the other strange thing in his instructions. I wonder,

did he loose his ring finger in a duel?  After acknowledging in passing
that finger's existence --maybe only in others?-- he seems to completely
ignore it.

No idea about why this is so, but you can find the same with French
baroque lutenists.
