And in the case of Eisler and Dessau it can be positively classy, especially
when Gisela May sung to such an accompaniment.

Oh well, I remember it from my school years, …hm. I thought it was an
eastern/communistic miserable licence for a substitute of harpsichord,
at most good for a cabaret. Now!, I see, it has it's class and
composers. Tomorrow we'll need a true replica ;-))

I think it is a contraption that inserts a metal platelet between hammers
and strings, and creates a sort of a "whorehouse harpsichord".
It was much loved by both Dessau and Eisler.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Erzlaute
That reminds me the term rather seldom used nowadays: "teorbierte
laute" (or close to that spelling), which for a long time had an
awkward Polish equivalent …really a terrible one, doesn't matter what.
Time has changed, now we have some English language problems and e.g.
the untranslatable to Polish "re-entrant". As the early music movement
is slowly passing away (Oooo?!) …well, evolving -- I wonder if the
last mentioned term will still be understood in 20 or 40 years.
Now, tell me what is "wanzenklavier" - ? I'm looking closer at some
XXth C. songs with guitar and came accros "Tierverse für Gesang,
Gitarre und Wanzenklavier" by Paul Dessau.

IMHO,
neglecting differences between the liuto attiorbato, the arciliuto and
the archlute.
Someone put a language link to it into
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzlaute, but that is misleading. The
German term Erzlaute was meant to be generic.

David,
Thanks for that.
Besides, you've writen a very interesting comment on the "latest
semiannual online comparison of video hosting sites
". I'm absolutely
not qualified to comment on that, but would love to read other's --
just to remind it's still "untouched" by other pluckers. Perhaps some
lute exemple
??
