"Similarly, I think it good for lute players to be encouraged to become
fluent in Italian tablature without needing to rely on transcriptions
into the French system."
Thank You Martyn! This is one personal "takeaway" bit with which I passionately agree. I
blame no one (well, my students- mainly & specifically) for not getting up to speed with German
lute tab and pitch notation & BC- at least if they are not interested in concertizing &
ensemble play- merely busy folks who only want to enjoy playing a little solo lute music in the
evening after a busy workday. But I don't understand not taking the time to learn the Italian system.
The only difficulty is flipping your brain upside down for a bit, then it becomes as easy as French
tab.
(It's OK, Anton- you just keep doing what you do- I only want my students to
eventually read straight from the wagonloads of fine Italian tab. editions that
are already out there... :-)
