Dear Arto
Very interesting that it was on the "Branles" that you decided to use
this.
That is what I thought of, in relation to the Dances of Attaingnant which
appeared just before the date of this painting.
Unfortunately, I was banned from listening to your recording ...

Dear Martin and all,
years ago I tried something like that - piece of paper under the basses of
10-courser:

It is on the Branle II, second half of the clip.
All the best,
Arto
