Here is a courante I played on theorbo and I feel in that moment that this was the good tempo for this one.
And sometimes is very interesting to discuss about tempos which are sometimes so relative...

I'd rather like to think in a healthy technique, that allows adapting each player's physiology to the artistic and expressive needs, and the particular instrument. Let's face the question about nails vs flesh: both are mentioned as possibilities in the historical sources. In my particular case, now i do use short nails, and this out of my will of experimentation. I do not play classical guitar since 15 years ago, and the reason for my RH tecnique is therefore not the guitar, but a decission concerning the best way to use my particular physiology, as I said before. Thank you in any case for your opinion! Hera, I do agree with you: it is a little bit too slow, for me as well.... nevertheless, I do indulge in playng it slow because I feel it could work given the texture of the piece. Nothing is permanent, let's experiment...

RH modern guitar playing > technique would imply thumb-out, not thumb-in, right? Yes, indeed. What I was referring to is the position of her right hand close to the bridge, her playing with nails, and the initial movements of her index and middle fingers from the root joints. That's how I was taught to play the classical guitar. When I picked up the lute, it was the renaissance lute first, and I was taught to turn my right arm around and play thumb-in. That blend of techniques betrays former guitarists who haven't abandoned the classical guitar. Don't get me wrong, though, Monica Pustilnik is an amazing player IMHO. She has been Evangelina Mascardi's partner on their marvellous Castaldi CD (strongly recommended).
