Since being warmed up is a major part of lute playing, I wonder whether anyone knows about the physiology of being warmed up?
Is being warmed up in the brain? In the muscles? In the spinal cord? Can one learn not to need it? Can drugs help? Is it related to the distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory? What everyday lute playing wisdom might shed light on the question? Etc. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
