Hi Dan, 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.

Another Stravinsky a pizzico aside that came to me via mandolin composer and copyright researcher Neil Gladd: Stravinsky's ballet Agon has a brief mandolin part. The English mandolinist Hugo D'Alton performed Agon with Stravinsky conducting in London during the 1950s. Stravinsky was so

Hi Dan I have a picture of Iadone from an old string packet. I know how misleading pictures can be (future guitarists will look at Picasso's Blue Guitar and be flummoxed) but his right hand looks like the archaic bent-wrist guitar style. I'll send the picture along if I can find it. Best,

Thanks, Joe- That would be instructive. I would guess that in Iadone's case the bent-wrist could as easily be from double-bass pizzicato technique transferred over to the lute; I suppose that would depend on how much Jazz bass he played. I'm pretty sure the late Stan Buetons (another pioneer,

In case anybody has never seen a Passauro lute, here's one that he built in 1967. I've seen it and the craftsmanship is impeccable, but the appearance is quite odd to a modern lutenist's eye. [1]http://image-projects.lib.ed.ac.uk/bitstream/10683/16909/1/0032282c- 0001.jpg Bill
