Ledbetter gives the earliest found use of the word 'luté' for French keyboard music in a 'Courante luté' by Gaspard le Roux (1705).
which confirms that keybord players wanted to make their playing more lute-like
gives 1928 as the earliest source he found for the term style brisé, although in that source (L. de La Laurencie 'Les Luthistes', p. 109) the term is used in a way that implies it is in common use for some (?) time already.
in common use by whom? This style was out of fassion for more than 2 centuries at that moment.
