Your accents got mangled Mathias (at least on my email programs). 'Style luthé' is generally used by harpsichord players to describe the arpeggio style used by many French baroque keyboard compositions and the term 'séparé' refers to the indications to play chords with different rhythms (as described by Perrine) found in the works of 17th century French lutenists. So not quite what I was looking for to describe the broken chords in Ballard, but thanks. Best, Matthew
