Crona Cc: [2][email protected] Subject: RE: [LUTE] Re: Poulton #73 [was] dedillo Dear Are: Diana Poulton attributed the piece (with reservation) to Dowland based on the fact that it contains several of Dowland's typical devices; the ascending scale passages with a repeated first note, and several tonic/dominant repetitions with inversions. The piece also appears in the manuscript (D9) following another fantasia more securely attributed to Dowland (Poulton #6). I have to agree with you that Poulton #73 doesn't necessarily sound like Dowland, and the fact that the piece really needs reconstruction does not help the matter. There seems to be a tendency to attribute unascribed music to known composers simply because a given piece is good. This is certainly the case with many pieces attributed to Francesco da Milano.
