correction: Sorry, I meant the values of the second and third note of the
first motif respectively the first bar in general...

Subject: [LUTE] Francesco da Milano - Ness 33
Dear lute lovers,
What are your opinions about the beginning of Francesco da Milano -
Fantasia Ness 33 regarding the note value of the first note of the
first motif?
My thoughts at the moment are that maybe it happened like this:
Francesco wrote the piece without bar lines. When they tried to print
it with bar lines it was not possible or not common to print only an
upbeat / a bar of half length. So they changed the rhythm to a very
common pattern so the motif could now fit into one bar.
Could that be possible? Maybe that happened with other pieces as well?
Or maybe Francesco "had to" compose it like this because no piece like
a fantasia or ricercar would start with an upbeat?
Best wishes,
Susanne
