Dear Stewart,
I must have missed the earlier message. I would second Stewart's
recommendation. Daniel Heartz is a brilliant musicologist and always has
"crunchy" thing to say about the music he studies. He also authored an
important bibliography of the music published by Pierre Attaiingnant.
Alas he then turned to 18th-century studies, and was lost to the world of
the lute and its music. He's a piano virtuoso, but can get around on the
lute as well.
I'm going to place me order today.

Dear Arthur,
This book {Preludes, chansons and dances from Attaungnat] was mentioned in
June and July 2002 on the French lute list. Roger Traversac informed the
list that there were over 200 mint condition copies of Heartz's edition of
Attaingnant's lute music still in stock in a shop in Paris. I bought myself
a copy staright away, and I imagine they'll still have plenty left. Here is
the relevant part of Roger's e-mail:

It is an excellent edition of some very playable music, and is well worth
having on the shelves at home.
Best wishes,
