Theo: Since no one else seems to have responded to this, I'll just point out an interesting article by Levi Sheptovitsky, 'Mastery of Sorrow and Melancholy: Expressivity in Two Chromatic Fantasias by John Dowland', which appeared the Lute News No. 81, April 2007 (page 20). The article includes a useful analysis as well as a good transcription of the Farewell fantasia from the Lvov manuscript 1400/1. You can probably contact the Lute Society and ask about a copy of the issue [1][email protected].

Has anyone written about this, and dissected the Farewell to identify the various 'quotations'? This is my absolute favourite ren lute piece, and I would be most interested to learn more.
