Thanks, Stewart, Bernd, Karl, et al.
Alas, it appears that Picard has them no more, at least not easily accessible via internet. The link takes me directly to Abebooks.com, and though they list several of Daniel Heartz' works (including a biography of Pierre Attaignant), the lute edition is nowhere to be found. Granted, I didn't try hard yet to get to Picard directly. I know that book, though. LIke many in my generation of lutenists, it was a valuable resource in learning. I still regularly play pieces from it. Still looking for the songs, though, if anyone has them. I've got a copy of the London Pro Musica Edition of 6 of them (LPM10a), plus a transcription of "Tant que vivray" which I got from I can't remember where. My wife and I enjoy them, and I thought it would be nice to get the rest... Best, and keep playing, Chris. >>> "Stewart McCoy" <lu...@tiscali.co.uk> 2/7/2010 5:55 AM >>> Dear Chris, Not quite the answer you were looking for, but you can still buy the old Heartz edition quite cheaply from Picard in Paris. I wrote to the Lute List about it on 21st October 2003 and 27th March 2006. Below is a copy of my email from 2003. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -o-O-o- Dear Arthur, This book was mentioned in June and July 2002 on the French lute list. Roger Traversac informed the list that there were over 200 mint condition copies of Heartz's edition of Attaingnant's lute music still in stock in a shop in Paris. I bought myself a copy straight away, and I imagine they'll still have plenty left. Here is the relevant part of Roger's e-mail: -o-O-o- voici l'adresse du site pour le commander et les references : [1]http://www.librairie-picard.com Tel/ 33. (0)1.43.26.96.73 Fax/ 33.
