I suppose that if the recording is out there those who view it have a right
to critique it. However; I think this should be shaded by whether or not
the critic has had the guts to do the same and if they did would they feel
the same way. To those of you who do put out performances on YouTube please
don't stop, and to those of you who find it necessary to make negative and
scathing reviews, while not putting their own work on YouTube there is an
old saying: Put up or shut up.

Subject: [LUTE] constructive critical commentary
About constructive critical commentary, as a "multi" Youtube recording
luteninst, I know very well what's wrong in my videos, I'm working very hard
to try do do better, and of course I accept criticism but very often I know
the "could be better" points before being told by someone, and what I would
need in fact is a (or many...) good master class(es) with some of the lute
gods as Paul, Bob, Ron or Nigel (sorry I miss some other names but... List
is long)
So I don't wait any technical comment, but I'm always glad to answer to kind
words people would spend time to write, even if it is not "useful" for my
lute technic... And I'm afraid critical commentary sometimes posted are
often not constructive, but acerb (then I'm sorry but I remove them at once
! Lol)
So I'm not sure Youtube is the place for constructive commentary, but more
for sharing music we love without pretention (I hope for my sake)
I just got today a beautiful theorbo made by Didier Jarny, a small
instrument for solo music (70cm/120cm) so now working on some Kapsberger's
Canarios, and it is great fun !

Objet : [LUTE] Re: Conradi Sonata
To repeat my comments to the group (since I replied privately
inadvertently), I thought the music quite lovely, and very nicely
played. Franz's point concerning the absence of constructive
critical commentary may be pertinent. Since I'm working on Renaissance
lute only, and am not familiar with Baroque lute literature or
technique, I'll leave it to other Baroque players to consider Franz's
point.
