Hi, item no. 34 in Poulton's tutor (page 50) is a 'Recercata di Francesco Milanese', fols. 30v-31 from the Libro Secondo, Intavolatura de viola ovvero lauto (Naples, 1536).
As Diana Poulton explains, "it is printed in the very rare form of tablature known as 'Intavolatura alla Napolitana': the stave is the same way up as in French tablature but the open course is numbered 1 and all other frets are, therefore, one number higher than in ordinary Italian tablature." Poulton wants that we do a little mental exercise, and prints it in that form. Curiously enough, I find more easily the right finger combination from that 'tablatura napolitana' than from the regular one. And now to my question: which item is it in the Ness edition? I really can't find it there... Thank you very much, and saludos from Barcelona, Manolo Laguillo PS It is a beautiful piece, BTW... -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
