Dear Howard, There are four short pieces for the four-course guitar in Barberiis' _Libro Decimo_ (venice, 1549). The pieces are described as "Fantasie per sonar sopra la Chitara da sette corde". The tablature for all the lute pieces in the book is Italian, but it is Spanish/ Milan tablature for the guitar pieces.
Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of howard posner Sent: 07 May 2009 17:47 To: lutelist Subject: [LUTE] Milan's tablature? Can anyone think of a source other than Luis Milan in which the tablature uses numbers with the high string at the top? I'm pretty sure I've seen it, but can't recall where?
