The tabs can be found on the fronimo-page (you need a yahoo account). I am sure I could send the file, too. Just drop me a note. I would have the original tabs, too but won't be able to copy it soon (it's in germany and I am in switzerland at the moment). The tuning is unusual, yes but I am not sure if the scordature is correct. There was a scolary article in one of our lute society's publications if memory serves right ...
All the best Thomas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sandy Hackney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 12. Juni 2006 20:42 An: [email protected] Betreff: [LUTE] Der Juden Tanz - Neusiedler An organist friend of mine mentioned the above named piece in the context of early transcriptions, claiming that Willi Apel had made various statements about it that were later shown to be "incorrect" due to scordatura errors. In HAM, the piece is #105b and Apel does say that it is "...one of the most remarkable specimens of 16th century music. Shrill dissonances, otherwise unheard of before 20th century music...an extremely realistic picture (of what one might ask?), not lacking a touch of satire." 1) I can't find the original tablature, and 2) I thought that most lute pieces used the "standard" tuning so is scordatura in play? But, Appel does say in his "Dictionary" under scordatura that the piece uses a tuning of A-e-e-b-e'-g#. Who of our resident experts, e.g., Stewart McCoy, might help me here? Many thanks.
