Re: (serious/popular)

Dear Jurek and All:
 Just because Francesco didn't include any dances in his publications
doesn't mean he never played them. A musician of his caliber may not have
needed an intabulation to play a dance.
Yours,
Jim

So, in a way, they were both ''serious and popular''. But I, since
long, cannot accept somehow they were really that serious and profund,
without creating/playing a single dance movement. Simply, I do not
trust, life is not that sad all the time...

Jurek (for Jerzy), which I really prefare - thaks Peter!
