Hello Paolo, There were two Telemann partitas (in G and e) in a manuscript auctioned in 1928, from the famous Musikbibliothek of Dr. Werner Wolffheim in Berlin. There were over 4000 items, and it took a week to auction everything. Its lute treasures included Dresden/Weiss. Item 64 was a lute tablature of 64 pages with 29 partitas including works by Finger, Martin Prantl, Richter, Rumpelnick, "Melante" (Telemann), Thielli, Tobias, Witek. Wolffheim purchased it in 1908. The Harvard University copy of the sumptuous auction catalogue (800 pages in length) has handwritten notes in the margins naming the persons or institution that purchased most of the items. No. 64 was sold to "Mydal." I think this may be a reference to Rudolphe Nydahl of Stockholm (d. 1973). Has anyone tried to trace his library? Boetticher (RISM, p.329) lists one tablature in his library, but according to the description, it is not the same. (Or is it? Can't trust Boetticher.) ajn ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: lute Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 7:16 AM Subject: [LUTE] Telemann lute music? Dear collective wisdom, anyone knows about lute compositions (not concerts for lute and orchestra) by Telemann? Or, in other words, is it possible that the most prolific musician of the history of music, from the same generation of Weiss and JS Bach never wrote a single piece for lute SOLO ? Best wishes Paolo Declich To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --
