The American Lute Society Journal, JLSA XXXVI (2003) has an important
and interesting article and translations by George Torres about/of the
prefaces of several French lute book prefaces. Strongly recommended!

That may be due to widespread 20th century recordings of that pavane.

Thank you for that, Mathias. This list is a wonderful resource having
people like yourself who are so familiar with the sources, and are also
willing to share their knowledge.

David,
Thanks for your interest in my recording.
1) The interlude is really just a simplified reduction of the harmonic ground
of the first couplet: a passacaglia bass. It was purely my decision to add

The beautiful thing about galant era music is the detail they put in their
