Dan; For that Dupont estate hazard, you could have done what the famous pianist, Jon Nakamatsu did the last time I saw him-he walked on stage carrying a fire extinguisher. Really. Of course, that was after the auditorium had been cleared by a fire alarm false alert and the concert was resuming-it was a gag.

It's been a very interesting & educational discussion, addressing an annoying little uncertainty that has never been so directly & comprehensively addressed to my satisfaction before. Way back in the 1980's my wife and I were a bass viol & virginal duo named "Sarabande", we played gigs all over the SE Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey & northern Delaware region. For wedding gigs we had to adapt pavins, allemandes, (even the occasional saraband) and Masque dances to actual movements; processionals and somewhat more vigorous recessionals. No lute problems, never used my lutes for these gigs! The highlight engagement was an all-out period gig at the Dupont estate- live candles all over a huge fir tree, and more candles throughout the rooms as the only source of illumination (reading the music was a chore, one learns why earlier generations went to bed or early or went blind if they worked late) thousands of yards of 18 century drapes, table cloths, & clothing in a Colonial era wooden mansion. I had my eyes on the fastest escape routes all through the evening.

Ah well - but good that it's finally now agreed there ought to be some relationship between a solo lute performance of a dance and the tempo at which was danced.
