There is a very nice concerto for 2 Baroque lutes and basso at the Brussels Royal library by a mister (or mrs) Corigniani. Google turns up very little on that composer, except that it may be a pseudonym for a German composer. What is the rationale/research to doubt that Corigniani was

Alain and all, Thanks for bringing up Corigniani. I have for years really liked this concerto in Bb for baroque lute duo. I recorded it with lutenist Paul Berget 20 years ago in an album which was never released, as it was a home-made recording and the equipment used was basic,

It is an arrangement, and a pseudonym seems very probable if you attempt to track down this "Italian composer". I have a hunch... BTW, there once have been two duets by Corigniani kept by Breitkopf. Regards Stephan -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu

Unfortunately, I have none of those - but here's a hint: Check the Siena Ms. (last quarter) for the Toccata-like "fantasies". Also there are pieces by Amadeo Moretti in it (if this is your guy). If you find anything interesting, please also notify Peter Steur so he will include any new

Franz; Bream was the inspiration for me as well. He has described that he found Dolmetsch lutes totally unsatisfactory due to low tension strings and a lack of ‘response'. His Goff lute was built by a harpsichord maker from x-rays of a lute found in a museum, but he specified

Unfortunately (again I am using that word today...) one cannot be sure. Take the concertos of Albicastro, who was actually German. Do they sound German or Italian? Sometimes it is hard to decide... Stylistic analysis, sadly, cannot prove anything. (@everyone:) In case you don't already know
