I have heard many recordings of the guitar version with full orchestra, and I havealso performed the piece on guitar with full orchestra. Guitars and lutes were not designed for this. Even then I wanted a facsimile of the original, but was unable to locate one. Now that I am dabbling in the lute world I would like to re-visit this piece. Questions: 1. Given the time period, would it be most historically accurate to perform this on a baroque lute in baroque tuning? Or could one get by with an 8 course renaissance instrument? 2. Would Vivaldi have written standard notation that a lutenist would then have entabulated according to the instrument in their possession at the time? 3. For correct volume and tonal balance, what would be the most appropriate (and historically correct) number of violins, etc.? String trio? Two per desk?... 4. Would anyone have a digital version of the autograph that they would be willing to share? I look forward to your collective wisdom ; ) Thanks, Tom > Yes, the Segal edition is very good. > > ed > > At 02:03 AM 1/3/2011, A. J.
