I am also very appreciative of Anton's efforts and generosity! (Thank
you, Anton!)
I like that Anton notifies this list of recent uploads and changes.
It helps to keep me up-to-date with Anton's postings (no small
task!). This list doesn't seem, to me, overburdened by this sort of
notice.
I am happy with his move to the IMSLP. Anton did mention the one day
delay when he first started posting there and occasionally reminders
us in his mailings to this group. In my experience a problem with the
link most often has been because I have been too anxious (meaning too
early)! But perhaps delaying the notice to this email list by one day
might be considered.
There are other possibilities for posting lute scores -- such as the
Lute (or Early Guitar & Vihuela!) Ning site, but I find it less than
ideal for the type and quantity of offerings by Anton.
Most lutenists may well be primarily solo players, but my life and
music-making would be substantially poorer (literally and
figuratively) without making music with other people--and that
includes other lutenists.
We do not have any great wealth of ensemble music, especially for 3
or 4 lutes. So I am happy about every new piece I find. Having a
wider variety of lute ensemble music creates more options when trying
to program to certain criteria, also.
A group of us lutenists in Minnesota are planning on including some
of Anton's arrangements in a program for the Minnesota Guitar Society
in January 2013. We just have to figure out which!
Thank you for your continued efforts, Anton!
