I tried that. It sounds all wrong. The repeats sound right to me, it all sounds right to me as written, but I was just wondering. BTW, this is lovely music. > Did you know that Gianconcelli's Bergamasca with > a Tasteggiata is used in Respighi's Second Suite > of Ancient Airs and Dances? It's a strong piece, in > my opinion.

I know there was an inserted section in the Bergamasca but I can't remember it. Is it really the Tasteggiata? Now that I've been working on the Tasteggiata from the same suite, I'll enjoy listening for it. Paul who? Oh Odette! :-) Yeah, he plays all the T signs as upper mordants in the Bergamasca as I remember. I expect he knows what he's doing. I've gotten used to playing the trills starting on the beat now, although when I first looked at it I felt strongly that the ones that were approached from above should incorporate an appogiattura. Some of them I do play that way when the muse strikes me. I've got to listen to that CD again now. On second thought, I'd better not. It can be a bit discouraging. :-) cheers, Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/ -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
