Dear Martin,
It's always nice to see Francesco in different readings. And there are many
to chose from.
Just a few comments as a postscript for your posting. The title of No. 4
is
simply Recercata. "Ser zimlich" is a comment added by a hand and pen
distinctly different from that of the tablature scribe. Madame Rollin didn't
always read these correctly. On folio 103v, for example,
the comment is "Sp shlect vnd zimlich gueth." Most of the comments begin
with "Sp" which she omits. "Sp[ielt] schlect und ziemlich gut." That is
"Plays nice and rather good." As Kurt Dorfmueller explained to me,
"schlect" (which mean "bad" in today's German) meant "nice" back then. So
the comment is not contradictory.
The comments may be a teacher remarking on
a student's performance of the piece, or perhaps the comments were jotted by
owner of the manuscript to remind him/herself on the quality of the
pieces.
There's no question about the Bavarian origins of Paris, Rés 429,
specifically Augsburg. The scribe
of the second part of the manucript and also the
commentary hand also appear in the Marco fascicle of Mus Ms 266 in Munich,
which came from the huge Augsburg Library of Hans Heinrich Herwarth
(1520-1582), which was purchased by the Bavarian Court in 1586 and forms the
core of the rare prints and manuscripts in music section of the Bavarian
State Library in Munich. For the most part it is a direct "translation" of
the
Sulzbachius (Naples 1536) Neapolitan tablature into Italian tablature.
A bit more, later. ajn.

Subject: [LUTE] New piece of the month + FdaM update
Hi All,
The new piece of the month might be (!) by Francesco da Milano - and I've
added another previously unknown concordance for Ness 75 (thanks to John
Robinson). You can see and hear both pieces at:
www.luteshop.co.uk/month/pieceofthemonth.htm
I have also added some pieces to my Francesco da Milano page - see nos.

Best wishes,
Martin
