Like as the lute uses a series of musical puns. The pun on touch is the pluck, which is here marked short. dt At 12:37 AM 3/13/2011, you wrote: Ben: Gordon is a very careful musicologist, recently retired from Acadia University, and you can trust his transcriptions. He sometimes monitors this

Arto, Yes, a wonderful performance. I was however worried that the conductor might hit his gout-infested toe with that big cane. I wonder if there's any truth in that old tale. - Original Message - From: wi...@cs.helsinki.fi To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011

I was referring to that tale told in U.S. music appreciation classes about Lully's death. But perhaps it is true. I decided to check with Nicolas Slonimsky (Baker's Biographical Dictionary): [Lully's] death resulted from a symbolic accident: while conducting, he vehemently

Not a bad film altogether, but not really a documentary either... ;-) More than a symbol, the painful end of Giovanni Battista looks more like some sort of bad joke to me, ironical more than symbolic... Best, Jean-Marie = == En réponse au message du 16-03-2011,
