Thomas, I totally agree. However there are a few things that fit well on
the guitar, it seems though these are only fragments of different sonatas.
I think the solution for guitarist, who insist on assimilating Weiss into
the guitar repertoire at all costs, should perhaps look into the possibility
of a 13 string guitar. If us lutenist's can go from 6 to 13 courses, is
this too much to ask of guitarist's?
I think that if a virtuoso guitarist where to just specialize in this
repertoire he would have a career waiting.
