[LUTE] Kapsperger translation

2017-04-03 Thread Matthew Daillie 
Could anyone point me to a translation of the introductory text in 
Kapsperger's Libro Quarto d'Intavolatura di Chitarone of 1640 (page 2). 
English or French would be fine.


Thanks.

Matthew

[LUTE] Re: A strange evidence for a wrong note

2017-04-03 Thread Rainer 

Dear lute netters,

I have checked the bar in question once again with a magnifying glass in the 
colour facsimile.

The "c" on the 5th course is an "e". Nothing to be changed here :)

Dear lute netters,

owners of Le Secret des Muses (facsimile, digital facsimile or the old CNRS 
edition) may not have noticed:

In the Courante on page 66 (or No. 54, page 144 in the CNRS edition) I noticed 
a suspicious note in bar 52
(in the original it is stave 5, bar 6)



  |\  |\  |\
  |   |\  |

 _d___c___d___a__
|_a__|

The c on the 5th course sounds wrong.
The corresponding bar 36


  |\  |\  |\
  |   |\  |
  |.  |   |
 _d___c___a__
|_a___c__|
||
|_c__|
|_ __|

suggests an e instead of the c.
However, divisions in early Baroque Courantes do not always stick to the 
original strain.

Then I noticed that the left hand fingering for the c is a "3" - which is 
nonsense but makes perfect sense for an e.
