Dear David, I don't know whether you have the CNRS edition of Gallot's works. It contains a section on the sub-titles used by Gallot for his pieces. 'La comète' is almost certainly the comet in December 1680 which inspired the French philosopher Pierre Bayle to write a text criticising

Of the main copper-wound strings available, the fullest sounding and brightest are the Kürschner followed by the Savarez, then the Aquila Ds and lastly the Aquila DEs, which are pretty dull (and are no longer being made although several retailers still have quite large stocks available). As

Dear Mimmo, In my opinion there are two factors which need to be given priority even before judging the sound of a string. Firstly it has to be true (with no problems of intonation going up the fingerboard for stopped strings) and secondly it has to be playable: on a well-made and well set up

If only the 4th course is causing a problem then I would certainly suspect the distance between the two strings as 3.7 is very close (4.5 would be a safer option). You could have new holes drilled by a luthier. Obviously the thickness of the strings and tensions are other factors to take into

Hi David, I think this is more a question of social and historical context than of translation. The CNRS edition of the works of Mouton gives possible explanations for a number of the subtitles of the pieces, inspired by his encounters in the Parisian salons. I can scan the relevant pages and

The T sign under a chord indicates that one should play the lowest notes with the thumb. The upside down v sign before a note indicates an appoggiatura from below; the upside down v sign after a note indicates a 'pincé' or mordent, as does a v sign after or before a note . Best, Matthew On
