The discussion was about Beethoven influences on 19th century guitar music, in a thread started by Eugene Braig. It had nothing to do with Matanya, but he came charging in any way. I remembered the example of a typical Beethoven chord progression that I saw in that Irish fantasia on his web site several years ago. But because I didn't want to to be distracted by the wrong notes in his edition, I referred to the original manuscript in Copenhagen which can be downloaded
The spelling "Leonardo Schultz" is used in an article in Guitar Review, and presumably elsewhere, since the guitarist is mentioned in passing. Brian Jeffery also uses that spelling. But the spelling of his name wasn't the topic of discussion. Which spelling should be used? If I were editing a book, I'd use the spelling given in the Library of Congress Name Authority files, which are used by library cataloguers to provide uniformity in all U.S. libraries. If he is not in the Name Authority files, I'd see what spelling is used in New Grove, and so forth down the line. Maybe we could compromise and use "Leonardus Praetorius." My my. There's a Praetorius listed in Zuth's handbook on the lute and guitar. A relative, perhaps? ----- Original Message ----- From: Roman Turovsky To: gary digman ; lutelist Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 10:42 AM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Matanya Ophee and the lutelist <<snip>> I can't even remember > what the original dispute between Arthur and Matanya was about.
