looking pretty and busy doesn't sound the worst idea :-)
this might impress the pretty girls in the 185th row more than the
imagination of the magical sound haunting them.

The "projection" topos comes to mind.
Some lute players believe that - not minding the cello group, 12
trombones, electric harpsichord, double bass etc. , not to mention the
rest of the Mahler orchestra - they can project their sound to some
pretty girls in the 185th row ;-)

dear collective wisdom,
so i was asked to play continuo for a Händel Concerto Grosso and
spent some time working it out. at the first rehearsal i discover
that the continuo line is also being played by 3 violoncelli, an
electronic harpsichord, and a double bass all 'playing out'.
all of these are modern instruments, played aggressively by players
more accustomed to symphonic music. full chords on my large archlute
and twiddling nonstop means i am audible to the celli and to the
conductor. the tutti violins on the other side of the semicircle have
said they can't really hear me, so i wonder if i'd even be heard by
the audience.
i'm sure other lute players have done gigs like this, so what does
one do in situations where one's lute seems largely ornamental? do i
just make sure i look pretty?
Edward
