There was another article about Vallet's fingerings by Laudon Schuett published
in the LSA Quarterly not so long ago. He reaches essentially the same
conclusions as Sandman that Vallet chose fingerings primarily for their musical
effect.
I'm curious about the origin of this article as well.
I have no idea. I found it searching for Vallet tablature files. Looks lie part
of a book. By the way, she has also published an article about Robinson's
fingering in the Schoole of Musicke many years ago in the LSA journal.
Frankly speaking I believe her arguments not exactly convincing.
On the one hand, judging from things Ralf mentioned, as well as the fact that
the musical examples are simply photocopied from a modern edition and marked by
hand, it looks like a student paper. However, the pagination (pp.129-140) and
broad section title ("Baroque Lute Fingering") make it appear to be submission
to an edited and published scholarly collection. (It also seems fairly
independent and not part of a larger thesis or dissertation.) If it is part of a
book, are there other articles on "Baroque Lute Fingering" or other lute
performance issues in it?
Well, Mrs. Sandman has a Ph. D (Stanford 1974) and does play the lute.
