[BAROQUE-LUTE] Gautier and Queen Christina

2010-06-25 Thread Mjos & Larson
For some time I have been collecting early music related to Scandinavia -- with an emphasis on Norway and Sweden. There are two pieces by Gautier with alternate titles connecting them to Sweden's famous Queen Christina. "Cleopatre amante" is titled "Courante de Gautier pour la reine

Herbert, I've been playing Baroque lute for one year and my 13 course has allowed me to approach XVII and XVIII c. repertoires, both of which I love. IMHO, 11c French music is not necessarily a "first step" before 13c, as some French pieces can be harder than some German music. Moreover, while y

It seems that much of the French 11c music is very idiomatic, with complex ornaments, almost like learning a new language (in this instance, french). Whereas, the German 13c literature is less intertwined with ornaments, more 'understandable' (?), but maybe more technically challenging in some w

Chris made a good brief summation. I have not much more to add. I started out with 13-course lute. Only after many years, I got a 2nd lute, 11-course. Since that time, I have not looked back, and my current baroque interest for the past few years has been for 11-course music. At 11:2

Herbert I think both options are possible. Several lutenists with whom I am in contact, transferred directly from Renaissance lute to 13c rider lute, without too much problem; but personally I chose the 11c route, and haven't regretted it. I think it may depend on what mu

Herbert, The same answer as always: It depends on the type of music you want to play. The 11 course lute was in use throughout the entire baroque, but you wouldn't be able to play the late sonatas of Weiss or the generation after. If you're only interested in 11-course rep., by all means

I've been playing Renaissance lute for 4-5 years now, and I'm looking to begin Baroque lute. Is it OK to start with a 13-course lute? Or should a beginner get an 11-course lute? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
