Dear all,
Though this arises coincidentally from the Passereau question, it's actually been brewing in my head for some time. For a lute student of between 1-3 years what would you suggest are the 5 most important facsimiles to own? I was going to say "have access to" but I feel that any serious player should be starting their own libraries by this time.
I'll ask this from the point of view of a renaissance lutenist as well as the baroque players who will have their own lists. I'm not so interested in where they come from --I realize their availability comes and goes-- but from the student/player/historian aspect of learning the lute, its repertory and its place in history.
Yes, I know, 5 books is mighty limiting but feel free to add a second 5 books if you need. As I see it every player has to start somewhere. Eventually I plan to tally the results and put a paragraph or 3 in an upcoming LSA Quarterly. And here.
Thanks in advance; I look forward to your replies! Sean To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
