I have to admit that I haven't heard or read Christopher Morrongielo
on this research into lute tables (does any one have references? I
did a wb search and came up with nothing, in this area), so my
imagination and inventive inclinations may have got the better of me.
I cannot speak for Chris on this subject, as he is the one who researched
the topic, and he does perform the lute by resting it on a table. I do not
know if anything on the topic has been published, but I doubt that it has been.

In fact this just occurred and I stopped for five minutes or so to
write you my previous message. I then went back to my lute and the
normal reading mode had returned.
Could this simply be momentary tiredness, a need for a new pair of
glasses, or

I've suffered from this very same problem since I was about 17 years of

often leads to weakness of the left hand, poor syncopation with the
right and a sort of blurred vision, as well as the symptoms you mention,

I think you are right. I had been writing on the computer all
morning, and then put in a few hours on some lute pieces that I
hadn't played fro a while.
After sending my message, I put down the lute for an hour, and when I
began again, the problem had more or less gone. It

I'm sorry about that. My part-time dyslexia does not seem a joke to
me. I began to wonder what was happening to me, so I can sympathize.
In fact, it may be a mild form, I have, that is only revealed under
duress. On the other, hand as someone else suggested, it could be one

I envy your memorizing abilities. I have just been thinking what
your situation implies. You obviously must have found a way of
learning all pieces by heart.
I find that extremely difficult, but began trying to do so after
reading an article by Matthew Wadsworth on that

In my case, its called getting old and myopic.If I dont have the

As a member in good standing of the presbyopic set, I highly recommend
getting a set of glasses specifically designed for music reading (i.e.,
tuned for 18 or so). I got some about three years ago, and they make
reading music much easier, especially when the damned publisher uses a

Actually, I have monovision contact lenses, which are the functional

Does anybody have information on the progress of Tim Crawford's Minkoff

Many thanks!
