anyway...what is copywrighted and what not? I had noticed that the internet
lute society is dead and I didn't understand why. I think it was a great source
for all sorts of lute players especially beginers or intermediate level (even
advanced). Civiol's site is really great. And there are a lot of pieces which
are played on many great recordings, and are superbly edited. ANd there are a
few sites very interesting with lute tablatures including the genial G.
Bookshelf. I think that musical notes begin to be important only when there are
a lot of recordings of it and concerts, till then are obscure and non
important...my opinion!
I think a lot about the lute players from Renaissance and Baroque with their
books writen by their own hand, I have a few facsimiles, they were playing a
very clear repertory, for us is very hard because we have so many things...I
have noticed a very interesting thing: some of the greatest lute players in the
world are using tablatures transcribed by their own hand, I've try to do this
but is very hard to have a nice writing on tablature, but I like the idea in
the sense of learning the piece before taking up the lute, and also because all
the music in every piece really pass through your fingers. I think the most
beautifull thing is that every lute player can go to every library where there
are lute tablatures and to copy it by hand, this I would like to do very much,
to see the original, to feel it and to make my own version of every one of it.
