I think Roman is right. I have spent enough time on this already and we
have been over it all so many times in the past.
There is really nothing more I wish to say.

Only the European Court at he Hague knows the principal issue here, and it

Hello you two,
I've been away a couple of days: can you kindly remind me of the
principal issue in this latest exchange? It surely can't be that you
aim to base an entire case on Carre's book

> February 1671 indeed. We know that the printing of Corbetta's book
was completed 31 October 1671. We don't know what he has changed or
added between September 1670 and October 1671.
I think it unlikely that Corbetta would have changed anything after
being granted the licences because publications were subject to
censorship. This was certainly the case in Spain I am not sure of the
details in France.
Like for example the preface.
> Carre's book could have been printed long before that date. If
Corbetta knew the content of Carre's book he could easily have echoed
the advice on the stringing of the fourth course.
Whether he has echoed it or not is really immaterial. It doesn't prove
that Corbetta disagreed with Carre.
> Carre's continuo examples are almost exclusively in pizzicato.
Well - he hasn't indicated whether any of the chords should be strummed
- probably for practical reasons to do with the printing.. But quite a
few of them could be strummed. A lot of the chords are in the wrong
inversions e.g.the first four chords on G re sol have the G on the 3rd
course and the notes on the fourth course will sound below them. The
first four chords on B fa si have the B flat on the fifth course where
it will sound above the notes on the third and fourth fifth courses and
so on. I can't list them all. Yes - he does seem to be confused as to
which method of stringing he is using - or perhaps he is just using his
common sense and placing them where it is practical to play them.
Very
> different from the usual Italian battuto-pizzicato approach, and
Carre has certainly not copied this from Corbetta's 1671 book.
Yes - I agree he didn't copy these from Corbetta.
