Hi Jan and all, Thanks for these links. The pieces from Buxtehude are extremely interesting - I don't think there is any other written out tablature part for theorbo that is so demanding and shows what a professional player might have played (in this style at least). The other cantata you mentioned "Herr wenn ich nur dich habe" has a basso continuo part in staff notation labelled "theorba", as opposed to an almost identical one labelled "organo". Both are fully figured, and I don't think there are significant differences in the bass lines. This is good ammunition to use against those who still say that the theorbo should only play the bass in this kind of music! All the best, Sam

It can perhaps be interesting to compare the figured bc with the theorbo "implementation".
