I've been reviewing my thumb under technique and wanted to get some opinions. I was taught to anchor the rh pinky and then use a little right arm motion when playing runs, triplet or dotted eighth passages. I was reviewing Besard's piece in "The Varietie of Lute Lessons," and he seems to suggest that only the fingers and joints should be moving, not the arm. I've also noticed that runs are cleaner with less arm motion. I play with relaxed tip joints, and this seems to also be more effective with less arm motion. Maybe I'm just psyching myslef out? Any thoughts on the role of the right arm with thumb under technique. Any references to historical docs? What were you taught. Thanks.
