my personal opinion is that one of the fascinating things in "lute world" is that there are still many different ideas of how the instrument shoul dsound and be played. Lutz Kirchhoff plays completely different to Hoppy or Jungh�nel and so on. And I like the idea that I can listen to 7 different recordings of the same piece without getting bored because sound and interpretation is different each time (okay - there are also reasons caused by the production which produce differences). Sigrun (and as far as I know Konrad J., too) usually is rather strict and I don't think she accepts the "thumb out" playing of for example Lutz. I find it enriching to have such a variety. > It also has to do with the instrument you play. K. Jungh�nel plays mostly > big lutes, which forces you to do different things... Good point, yes! But I can tell it also works for small instruments. I really think you're right in so far as the technical "development" came for KJ from the baroque lute while Hoppy developed rather from the renaissance instruments - I think he explains his technical ideas as coming from "plectrum technique" ... Rumor corner: Actually Konrad seems to have recently bought a "Liuto Forte" which shocked me. One of the best players we have seems to have decided to leave the early music world - I hope this rumor is untrue otherwise I would be *very* dissappointed. How can a honest musician follow an idea orientated on the ideal of the Wanderv�gel? > I don't know... for renaissance playing, I would definitively encourage my > students to use the arm. > Saludos, > A all the best Thomas -- Thomas Schall Niederhofheimer Weg 3 D-65843 Sulzbach 06196/74519 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.lautenist.de / www.tslaute.de/weiss --
