[LUTE] Re: German keyboard tablature

Thank you. I was interested in the matter because surely Gumprecht must have had some input for the Rostock French 17th-century lute manuscript with 400 (!!) pieces. It is copied on paper manufactured in Urach (40km south of Stuttgart--there was a duchal residence there), and not

Dear Mathias, Yes, as you later write, I did not mean to suggest that Louise Frederica studied with Gumprecht d. J. By coincidence just a few days ago I received by mistake the Béhune (Minkoff) facsimile, and now am glad that I decided to pay for it and keep it for my

[LUTE] Re: German keyboard tablature

And as for your precise question, whether or not Gumprecht may have been teacher to Louise's father, Frederick Louis, that seems very likely IMO. Gumprecht was 48 at Frederick's birth, and when Gumprecht died, Frederick was 16 or 17. Mathias -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von:

[LUTE] Re: German keyboard tablature

Dear Arthur, That is interesting! Thanks for that. In 1681, father and son Gumprecht wrote a letter to the council of Stasburg, requesting that Jean Bethune, who was about to settle in Strasburg as an angélique teacher, be repelled from town. They seem to have been successful, as nothing is

Hi Alain, Yes, there are two major manuscript sources and one print available online. The manuscript sources are: 1. The anonymous tablature for the angélique A 3.329, preserved in the Moravian museum in Brno (Smetanova 14, 602 00 Brno):

[LUTE] Re: German keyboard tablature

Thank you Mathias for this useful detail, Except for the 17th string, it should be fairly easy to implement - one last request if you can, do you happen to have a link handy to a digital facsimile of angelique tablature? If not, I'll do my own digging, but you are more knowledgeable than I am

Does anyone happen to have a copy of Biagio Marini's Per ogni sorti d'instrumento musicale (1655) to hand? If they have I wonder if they would be kind enough to look at the Zarabanda Seconda on page 8 and 9 a tell me how the parts are arranged on the pages. Are there two parts to a page

[LUTE] Cumb=C3=A9es?=

Briefly - the cumbee is an African rather than a Mexican popular dance - and surprise, surprise - there were a lot of Africans in Spain during the 16th and 18th centuries. North African is just a short distance across the Mediterranean from Spain. There are examples of the cumbee in other

Hi Alain, the angélique is strung with 16 single strings. Ten are on the fretboard and six are bourdons. The pitches are as follows: 1st = e5 2nd = d5 3rd = c5 4th = b4 5th = a4 6th = g4 7th = f4 8th = e4 9th = d4 10th = c4 11th = b3 12th = a3 13th = g3 14th = f3 15th = e3 16th = c3 The strings
