Well, my example was really to show how tricky attribution is. But you can dig a bit further. In this case, you can go by the Grove, but the Grove is not really an authoritative source in that it is a secondary reference. Yes, we all read it, but it is a bit like Trader Joe's as well. The real

It is a favorite pastime to say pieces are really not by X, and it is easy because, when you come right down to it, in the renaissance there is no real way to prove anybody wrote anything. People argue whether Shakespeare existed. You can't go exclusively on attribution, because they are often

Is Pastyme with Good Companye really not by Henry the VIII? Excuse this perhaps very silly question from a 17c-iste, but I always assumed it was actually by the great man himself - although there could easily be new information/finds/theories I am not aware of. I note however that the New

How amazing. I never noticed this before. But yes, Francesco's Richafort De mon triste deplaisir (Ness 121) follows the melody of Pastyme right the way through from beginning to end. Anyone know the words of the Richafort? 'De mon triste deplaisir' seems a long way away from 'Pastyme with good

Dear Gernot, The composer who has caused me the most concern over fingering is Fuenllana. There are many instances where he could have made life easier for everyone. I don't know if being blind was an issue here. I doubt it. What occurred to me is that some odd fingerings could have resulted from

Dear Gernot: I think we all wrestle with fingering questions such as the one you point out. Another is in Francesco's 'La Compagna' where we must dash up and down the fingerboard on the chanterelle, while it would be much easier to use a higher position on a lower course. I think the
