I know of a 'Trinkkanon' by Mozart: This is the text (in German of course!): Freunde, lasset uns beim Zechen wacker eine Lanze brechen! Es leb' der Wein, die Liebste mein! Drauf leer' sein Gläschen jeder aus. Mit euch ist gar nichts anzufangen, da sitzt ihr still wie Hopfenstangen. Sie lebe hoch! So schreiet doch! Sie lebe hoch! So schreiet doch, so schreiet doch! Seid ihr wie Stockfisch denn geworden stumm, seid ihr wie Stockfisch denn geworden stumm? So schreit, so schreit, so schreit, ihr Esel, doch, seid nicht so dumm! Es leb' die Liebe und der Wein!

I don’t know about tavern, but there’s plenty of Mozart that’s not fit for church. Mozart’s “naughty” humor tended toward the juvenile: buttocks, excrement, flatulence. It has led to some talk about his being stunted in his emotional/sexual development, but to be fair, the whole Mozart family, including his mother, seemed inclined toward that sort of humor, as evidenced by their letters. Bona Nox (K. 561), for example, ends with: gute Nacht, gute Nacht, scheiß ins Bett daß' kracht; gute Nacht, schlaf fei g'sund und reck' den Arsch zum Mund. You might want to look up this 1967 recording by the Norman Luboff choir, with Igor Kipnis, no less, at the harpsichord: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Is A Dirty Old Man (The Scatological Canons And Songs Sung In English) https://www.discogs.com/Norman-Luboff-Igor-Kipnis-Wolfgang-Amadeus-Mozart-Is-A-Dirty-Old-Man-The-Scatological-Canons-And-Son/release/2945663 I wouldn’t actually try to listen to it, because Luboff sanitized the translations, but the website does provide a sort of reference to Mozart’s off-color songs. Like Purcell’s, they often take canonic form. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Many portraits of this era made use of allegory: perhaps the artist was aware of, and painted into the picture, his assessment of the couple's relationship, the lady's pre-occupied look to the heavens and her instrument's broken strings being connected and a statement upon either her fidelity or comfort with her portrait-sharing partner? If I were asked to sit for a portrait with such an instrument, and told, by the artist, to sit on the right side of the other person, I would, politely and inappropriately-for-playing, rotate the lute in my lap to stick the neck off to the left.

No, I don't know the picture at all and I notice that the first question in the comments section is asking where it is. No answer as yet, maybe he will respond later. There is also the conjecture which Lynda Sayce put forward that his "theorbo", which was destroyed after being kept until the 19th century in an Oxford college, was in fact, like Pepys,' a 12 course double header, of either sort. And this picture *could* be consistent with either of those. So possibly you're again up with the zeitgeist in building your extended neck double-header! On that design, it is noticeable that there are many more of them in French iconography than of the English/Netherlandish curly pegbox sort and that they do die out pretty quickly. So maybe Mary Burwell tutor is referring to that sort when it talks of the French taking them up and then dropping them. True it refers to Gaultier having invented the form and we have the engraving of Gaultier holding the curly sort but it is at least conceivable that he actually "invented" the straight form while still in France and then later in England taking up or "inventing" the curly form with its stepped basses. Certainly the Burwell tutor's disparagement of "them long basses" fits rather more with the straight form, several of which are shown with really quite long basses.

There's a brief mention of them in 'Varietie' and only a few paintings show evidence of their use. Accurate stopping of the string on the soundboard might well have been the norm - and of course a 'singing' tone would be out. I suspect the reason people want them is that Dowland used fret positions right up to the 12th, and of course all the Bream recordings that lurk at the back of many players' minds have a wonderful sustained tone on these notes. Would Dowland himself have used them or would they be regarded as a crutch for amateur performers who couldn't stop the string accurately - a bit like some learning violinists use tied-on frets? After the longer-necked lutes of the early 17th century came along (neck/body join at around the 10th fret usually) you have to look hard to find pieces that use notes above the 10th fret, for the rest of that century.

And my second observation is this. while none of you admitted to working the end of the gut a little to make it possible to tighten the knot well, I bet you all do it, if unconsciously while getting that first loop in there and the end burned. Our experience with burning the end of the gut into a lump was varied. We only replaced the biggest 3 frets, but those 3 pieces of gut varied in their response to the flame. Also, a soldering iron actually didn't work all that well for us. A lighter set on low, and then using mostly the (cooler?) tip of the flame seemed to work best. So now I think I have 3 new usable frets replacing the badly worn ones. That is, as long as the next time I open the case they're still attached. :-) Suzanne -- References 1. http://www.wadsworth-lutes.co.uk/frets.htm 2. mailto:suzanne.angev...@gmail.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

When I put Paul O'Dette's Marco CD in my computer, that title comes up "Pioverin" on the index, but on the CD sleeve, it's "ioverin" which must be a typo. I got a private email saying that in one modern dialect, "pioverin" is something like a rain gutter. I cruised through the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Mus. Ms. 266, but I couldn't make out most of the titles, which means even if I found the word, I probably wouldn't have any better idea about what it says. 8 September 2010 06:38, howard posner wrote: "Small rain"?

Everyone should read thisd article :) Ross was of the opinion that one could put the lute in temperaments without tastini, and I don't agree with that, so like everything take it with cum grano salis. However the article really talks about temperaments in general. It is an excellent article, as are all of Ross's writings. dt At 10:33 AM 12/10/2009, you wrote: Dear collective wisdom, Some time ago on the lute net, there was a web site posted, which gave audio demonstrations of how various temperaments sounded, using the same musical examples. As I did not bookmark that page, does anyone have it, where they could send me the link?
