By the way I noticed something very strange: Sometimes Vallet uses hold lines/slurs on an empty string. It might be worth checking this - perhaps the engraver should not have engraved an "a" here.
That is quite common in French baroque music too.
Well, there is certainly very little voice leading in the courantes and voltes. These are obviously in style brisé.
What I meant is that we sometimes analyse the music with too much of an anachronistic vertical harmonic filter which leads to neglecting a horizontal reading.
Has anybody read that article about Vallet's left hand fingering?
What article do you mean, his printed introduction? Best Matthew To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
