Not likely.  The key word is “published."

Thanks for pointing me towards this, David.
I have the book. I had looked through it. Your eye and memory is better than 
mine. So, pages 96-98. 

Doug gives the number 1,200 intabulations in the 16th century, which he says is 
half of the published Italian lute pieces. This number seems low (maybe needs 
another zero?), especially since further down on the page he says Vincenzo 
Galilei intabulated 3,000 pieces himself. Galilei was Italian and living in the 
16th century, so something is off.

I had heard the estimate of half before, but half of what? I can well believe 
half of Italian lute pieces in the first half of the century. All lute pieces? 
Renaissance? or just the Italian printed sources? There are very few 
intabulations in English sources, for example, which is a huge chunk of the Ren 
repertoire.

At least I can repeat half of the published Italian sources were intabulations 
according to D. Smith.

   I thought recent research said that the lute has a greater repertoire
   than any other instrument, with over fifty thousand pieces surviving,
   not counting those lost.

Ha, ha. That is my usual method. 
Actually, I’ve given talks before but it has been a while and the audience will 
be musicians so I want to polish it up.

There can only be estimates of what was. However, of the known pieces that 
exist in museums and such, it is possible to classify and  count the numbers of 
dances, intabulations and freely composed pieces. Someone must have hazarded a 
guess. I’ve heard some of the guesses. I just can’t remember the number (was it 
half or 1/3) and I want to see it in writing.

Maybe I’ll wait until the day before… :-)

Your talk is in one week? Sounds like:

 https://i.redd.it/n8i4oh04h4cz.jpg

;-)

More serious: there can't be any such data - not only did only a rather small 
sample of music survive the
turmoils of time, we have no idea how representative of the music played back 
then our surviving material is.
The Capirola lute book explicitly admits that it tries to twist natural 
selection ;-)
Were intabulations really that popular, or were they a good market item because 
there production was so
time-consuming (and hence one would rather buy those and save time instead of 
buying dances which could
be reproduced after some careful listening).
I've often heard claims about the volume of lute music, but I never found some 
convincing data. I guess it's 
mostly gut-feeling of lute players (who often don't know or neglect the fast 
amount of organ intabulations).

Have fun with your lecture,

 Cheers, RalfD

[LUTE] re-intabulations

2011-03-21 Thread wolfgang wiehe
   hello collective wisdom,

   some of you know, that I'm mad for old books. some years ago, I bought
   Denkmaeler der Tonkunst in Oesterreich - Band 37: Oesterreichische
   Lautenmusik im XVI. Jahrhundert from the year 1959. I think the
   book is from an estate of a lute player. inside are english annotaions
   and a handful of re-intabulations from the staff notations of lute
   music: some dances by judenkunig, newsidler (f.e. wascha mesa), bakfark
   and some fragments. I think, he or she was a skilled player. someone
   knows the hand?  I scanned the re-intabulations:
