Oh yes, you asked why. Maybe just "because". But specifically, it's the stuff I like the most & can mostly play; and since I went to the trouble of putting some of these editions into performing/playing versions they are easy to work with. If you are asking without quite saying "What lute music should be universally foundational to all serious lute players?" you should ask that. It will undoubtedly include most of what any of us post here, but certain things that are "must haves" for me are certainly not essential to your unasked question. Nobody needs Julien Belin but I like his little book very much. Dan
