Dear Christopher,
This seems to be a quotation from an antiquarian music dealer's catalogue, in this case Otto Haas , Catalogue 6: "Music and Music Literature" (London, 1938), Item 575, successor to Leo Liepmannssohn, Katalog 223: "Musikbibliographie und Notation" (Berlin, 1931), Item 546. The Haas description is pasted on the inside of the cover. I think new French refers to baroque lute tablature with slashes below the staff for bass courses, and as "bh" commented, the d minor tuning. Liepmannssohn was probably trying to be precise, since the catalogue includes "Notation." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Wilke" <[1][email protected]> To: "Lute List" <[2][email protected]>; "Arthur Ness" <[3][email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 7:50 AM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Guitar and Lute MS from Sibley Digital > Thanks so much Arthur!
