Years ago I had a concert including a piece where I had to play a duet with a koto player. We didn't have time to rehearse this one piece, other music involved me playing shamisen and singing - both much more scary than playing lute. I was given the koto part (a kind of tablature) and I studied it the night before, writing a lute part to it. During the run through on the concert location it turned out I had completely misunderstood the koto tuning. I threw away my lute part and improvised a second part to the koto in the concert. It was recorded for TV, and the producer of the programme called us next day to ask what we had played, he wanted to know more about it as it was so nice. :-) David - had his music filmed for TV during the break of one of the concerts last week; what's there to see? -- ******************************* David van Ooijen [email protected] www.davidvanooijen.nl ******************************* To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
