Concerning these "doubles": I found that it sounds really nice if you play them with inegale notes, i. e. "swing". This way, the "hidden melody" comes out very nicely. I have no idea if that is "allowed" in that time. Normally, this is a Lully thing. Being able to apply some groove seems to be

Matthew, Not quite, probably. May I try to figure out why. Robert Ballard wrote out many doubles to his courantes, that way breaking grounds for what was later called style luthe (I omit accents for the sake of readability). One particular feature is to rhythmically dispose

My comment sounds like this: Unfortunately, this performance is on a "lute-shape instrument" but by far not on a baroque lute. Apparently the young musician misses the idea and ideal of baroque lute sound and technique. He treats the instrument like a guitar. The type of string material is by far

Your accents got mangled Mathias (at least on my email programs). 'Style luthé' is generally used by harpsichord players to describe the arpeggio style used by many French baroque keyboard compositions and the term 'séparé' refers to the indications to play chords with different rhythms (as

Well. Single strung lute. Rather special right hand technique with thumb in, but the rest of the fingers employed more like a guitarist. I would say it was neither, nor really. To me, his right hand did not give a "relaxed" impression. But musically, he played the bwv 995
