Yes, I think it's best to stay with what Gianconcelli wrote. There are no T's in Chilesotti's transcription for lute-guitar. Respighi inserts the Tasteggiata on page 40 of G's tablature book.(1650). It's nearly continuous, so the break is not very easy to hear.
You're from the Bay Area, I recall. Lots of the pictures in the Ansel Adams exhibition were places I am certain we both have visited. My mother lived for a while in Bodega Bay, and one shot showed the cliffs where her house sat above the ocean. And I remember going ice skating at the Sutro Baths which were near the Cliff House. He took lots of pictures there. Have fun with Gionconcelli, Arthur. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Durbrow To: Arthur Ness ; [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 2:03 PM Subject: Re: [LUTE] Re: tastegiata On Aug 20, 2005, at 2:15 AM, Arthur Ness wrote: if you wish, you could compromise and alternate the phrases between the Gagliarda and Spezzata in the manner of the Strain/Reprise structure. 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. Respighi repeats the bergamasca variations and inserts the tasteggiata between the two. But Paul correctly uses it as a prelude. Yes I did. I'll have to listen to it again. 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
