A good question, Dr. Mardinly. What one notices, though, is that when violins,
violas, cellos and string basses have their strings plucked rather than bowed,
the sustain of the note is short (string basses doing by far the best, and
violins doing the worst with pizzicato - plucked notes). It

Joseph Iadone was my first exposure to the lute. He headed an early music
workshop that I attended for several years in Vermont (early 70's). Lucy Cross
taught there also. And Richard Taruskin, who led us through the early chapters
of Hindemith's Elementary Training for Musicians.
At least an aspect of this issue - regarding audiences for the lute and early
music - must deal with the lute as a solo instrument, and its appeal to
audiences in that capacity. To begin with, how many solo instrumentalists of
any instrument, can expect to play to a large audience? Certainly
Disdain for either early or later music is foolish. Duke Ellington is reputed
to have said: There are only two kinds of music; good music and bad music.
Playing early music on recorders and later music on the cello, I feel fortunate
