[LUTE] Re: Fantasies for Guitar
That's a nice few. Of Sor's, my favorite is probably Op.7 (it's almost certainly on the Boije site someplace, but I don't have time to dig it up at the moment). However, I thought Omer wanted to avoid 19th-c. works. (I don't have the original request any longer.)

[LUTE] Re: Fantasies for Guitar
Hi, all. Probably this should move off list, not being lute related, and since it appears Omer is satisfied with his choice of Luis Milan. But to finish up: I just went through quickly, Eugene, and picked some of the composers you mentioned then looked for fantas** in the title. I don't know if Sor Op. 7 is in there, either. If you recommend it, I'll look. While wonderful, those collections are subject to the proclivities 80 years ago of the collectors. I haven't played any of those pieces; my tastes run pretty strongly toward America in the 19th c. My impression was that Omer wanted post-17th, but I also don't have the original post easily at hand. Now, though, apparently a moot point, except for our discussion. Best, Chris. Eugene C. Braig IV [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/16/2008 8:13 am That's a nice few.

David Thanks for sharing. My wife plays flute and this will be fun for us. Kerry David Tayler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's the arrangement, kinda tricky because of the strange harmonies. It is in Fronimo as well as pdf as well as notes, in addition to both modern and renaissance flute, the top part can be played also on lute or recorder, so it can work as a lute duet as well. http://tinyurl.com/5sp5tm Since it is in Fronimo you can change the notes around as you wish. A variation is provided for the more adventurous types. The url will only be good for two weeks, due to the server. The music is a variation on the passemezzo antico, as it has the flat seven. dt -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Take II: last joints that bend backwards.
Sorry for not being clear. I meant to ask about right-hand technique. Is the extra flexibility of significant help in the right hand? On Jul 12, 2008, at 10:48 AM, Herbert Ward wrote: Some people have fingers that bend backwards somewhat at the last joint. Is this helpful for lute playing? Definitely, if it is the first finger of the fretting hand. It makes it easier to play Eb chords in the first position with an open G string.

Dear Herbert, I would say yes, definitely. I had a couple of sessions with Richard Stone in May and June, and we talked about this quite a bit. I'm trying to make the changeover from 35 years of renaissance lute thumb- under, to some form of Baroque lute thumb out, or at least thumb- middle. It's a difficult thing to jump into. One of the points that Richard bought out as being the next step in my right-hand progress, was to tell me to play with a lot of flexibility in my right hand fingertips. You can also get some advice on this subject, from Ronn MacFarlane's web site: http://www.ronnmcfarlane.com/lute/btb/BTB_11_Tone_Control.pdf Ronn sees that last joint on your right hand as your tone Control.
