Dear baroque lutenists,
when I started to study the baroque lute 3 years and some months ago,
one of my first tries was one at least historically interesting piece -
and at least to us Finns, Swedes and probably also Russians:
This anonymous lute arrangement of of a marche by Anders von Düben comes
from ms. Kalmar KLM 21.068. fol. 10v.The original name by von Düben is
"Marche pour les Suedois - Narvamarschen" and it is part of the
"Comedie-balett: Narvabaletten", first performed 6 february 1701. The
piece was composed to celebrate the victory of the Swedish king Charles
XII (Karl XII) of his opponent Peter the Great of Russia in Narva,
January 1700.
My hopefully a little bit more polished version, recorded today, is in

Best,
Arto
