me. We are not going to increase

It's one CD and with the current dollar rate perhaps a bit steep.

Dear Howard,
The tendency of some kinds of music (like the saraband) to slow down
has a parallel with the history of note values. In earlier times
music was measured in longs and breves, but gradually, over the
years, faster note values were introduced. A minim (half note) gets
its name from

I agree with Howard, that it is not an easy matter deciding whether
Wilson tuned the first string of his instrument at pitch or down an

is enough evidence to support a high octave, and enough to support
The Weichenberger CD is only US $25 from the LSA (plus $2.50 SH free
shipping with an order of 4 or more CDs). See p. 35 of the May 2005

Dear Arthur,
Thank you very much for this very interesting information about
Madame Sydney Pratten and Ernest Shand.
About 30 years ago, I was given some guitar music which seemed to
have belonged to someone who may have had guitar lessons in London
from Madame Sidney Pratten, or (more likely)

Can this be damaging?
If you lose one of 15 strings on an eight-course lute, the tension will
suddenly be something like 14/15 of what it was before the string
broke--more if it's
Sorry. I hit send instead of delete. The point is that the change in
tension when a string breaks is around 5 to 8 %. It probably changes
more than that if you have gut strings and the humidity increases.
To get on or off this list see list information at
Concur with Edward and Howard. And will add that on both lute and harp
(opposites in the way the tension is applied, parallel versus
semi-perpendicular) the lose of one string is a tiny fraction of total
tension. And that a release of tension (stress actually) won't hurt the
instrument - in fact
Stewart,
A fine analysis of tempo and divisions. But I have to punt on this one. Is
it faster or slower? We can't know. And the note values can't tell us. Take
modern staff notation with the metronome beat assigned to the piece. The
tempo signature indicates the emphasis within the measure, not
10 matches
