In 1991 I wrote a Master's Degree paper on a most fascinating lute manuscript preserved at Uppsala University. It is for a 13-course lute and contains two suites in the bizarre keys D sharp minor and G sharp major, as well as an intabulation of an Affettuoso by Fortunato Chelleri (Keller). The suites are of great technical complexity, and the music is outstanding. (Douglas Alton Smith first believed it was an hitherto unknown Weiss MS, but later changed his mind.) With the modern electronic age I've now turned the paper into PDFs, and you are allowed to distribute the following links to your mailing list. I think that the more lutenists who become aware of this music, the better. Hopefully someone will eventually learn the pieces and even record them. Feel free to distribute both the links and my email address/URL. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them. Also, if you should chose to distribute the following, make it clear to the recipients that they are all more than welcome to contact me if they have any inquiries.
