[LUTE] Music editions questions

2013-03-11 Thread Rockford Mjos
I am considering purchasing some music editions, but know only a little about them from the publisher's catalog -- none of my immediate friends own them, and I have never seen them in a library -- and am seeking comments to help me decide whether to invest in them or not. I would like comments

This sounds very interesting. However I can't find details of the cost of attending the conference. When will this be decided? Thanks, Bill Samson From: Hector hectorl...@mac.com To: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Sunday, 10 March 2013, 21:09 Subject: [LUTE] Celebrating

Dear friends of the lute and its music, in answering Rockfords questions I have sent some samples of these editons to him. Thats the way your questions about certain TREE publications could be answered: ask for a sample - sent via the internet - and then decide yourself...

Thank you for the samples, Mr. Reyerman. I have to admit, it never occurred to me to write the publisher to ask for a sample! I have appreciated the one page samples on the Lute Society and French lute society websites, which have enticed me to purchase unknown (at least to me) works. Not

Never mind. Mr. Reyerman's samples have answered my questions. I have decided to order the Kopperud duets, De Visee for archlute, and Croton's Rembrance (Shakespeare) songs. -- R On Mar 11, 2013, at 2:15 AM, Rockford Mjos wrote: I am considering purchasing some music editions, but know

I've looked at David Van Edwards' diagram a million times. There's a youtube video of someone putting frets on lute: I've watched it many times. I just cannot do it... and never have been able to. I don't understand the knot and I don't understand the method. I've got masking tape plastered

2013-03-11 Thread Guy Smith
Amtrak is more flexible about carry on than airlines, especially if you get a sleeper (which is what we've always done). From what I've seen of their checked baggage handling, it's not nearly as rough as the airlines, so even that option is probably relatively low risk, although I'd still carry a

I'll do it for you in 15 - 20 minutes. Might take an hour to coach you on doing it properly yourself. It's just a matter of repetition practice (like learning to play the lute or some such thing.) I am nowhere near any part of London, somewhat west of that area- just about 20 miles from New
