Thanks for this lead! I've just downloaded Laute und Lautenmusik.
[1]http://ia311326.us.archive.org/2/items/lauteundlautenmu00krrich/laut eundlautenmu00krrich.pdf Quite a historic volume in its own right (1901). And looks like a good read, though it's going to take me a LONG time to struggle through. An emphasis on German repertoire and tablature. Lots of stuff about temperaments and tuning. There's one delicious bit on page 136 where he compares a passage in an Attaignant prelude (1529) to the slow movement of Beethoven's op. 74 string quartet. Now, one question: on page 17, taking an example from Neusidler, he suggests that an quarter note C followed by eighth notes C and D should be interpreted as a dotted quarter note C followed by an eighth note D. This is on the grounds that Neusidler hardly ever writes dotted notes. It's sort of plausible, but is it right? P On 22 October 2010 11:58, G.
