That should be Bologna, Civico Museo, not the Conservatory. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Ness To: Benjamin Narvey ; Lute Net Cc: Lute Net Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 3:41 PM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Conserto vago
Yes, it is for the three instruments, to be played solo or in ensemble. It is a variation suite (balletto, volta, corrente, etc., ending with a 'recercata."). It is a four-course guitar "alla Napolitana." For music facsimiles, it is always best to check theOMI on-line catalogue. I couldn't find it there, nor is it in the LSA Microfilm Library. The unique copy is in the Conservatory Library in Bologna. ----- Original Message ----- From: Benjamin Narvey To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Cc: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 2:17 PM Subject: [LUTE] Conserto vago Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone knows if the following exists in facsimile: Thomassini, Filippo (publisher): Conserto vago . composti da buono, ma incerto auttore, libro primo (Rome, 1645). 36 pp. It is apparently a collection of trios written for lute, theorbo, and baroque guitar, which I think is quite unique. Also, if anyone knows any other information about this source, I'd be much obliged! All best, Benjamin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- --
