Dear Stewart
Fouchetti page 7 is not blank in my copy. (Starts Gamme de la
mandoline...)
All the others are blank
Dear Tony,
As you know, bourdonner in French means to buzz (of insects), and le
bourdon can be a bumble bee. Why should the French have used such a
word for the lower string of an octave pair? I wonder if it is
because, when you play campanella passages on a baroque guitar with
bourdons, there is
the character you send
appears quite differently on someone else's screen. The chances are
though, that it works OK with Plain Text, as opposed to HTML.
Best wishes,
Stewart.
