Thomas,
I guess you mean by the "newly discovered manuscript" the "Rohrau," AKA
"Harrach." Most of it is for 11-course lute, but it's a mixed bag and some
movements that would be hard to play on only 11. Some "sonatas" are pastiches
of movements that were probably not intended to be played together. The
"L'Amant Malheureux" sonata is a good example. The first two movements are for
11-course lute, but the courant and fantasie need 13. The last movement (which
is a gigue version of the allemande) is back to 11 courses. Two movements are
based on Gallot's allemande; the rest have no particular relation to it.
