Dear Chris, Not quite the answer you were looking for, but you can still buy the old Heartz edition quite cheaply from Picard in Paris. I wrote to the Lute List about it on 21st October 2003 and 27th March 2006. Below is a copy of my email from 2003.
Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -o-O-o- Dear Arthur, This book was mentioned in June and July 2002 on the French lute list. Roger Traversac informed the list that there were over 200 mint condition copies of Heartz's edition of Attaingnant's lute music still in stock in a shop in Paris. I bought myself a copy straight away, and I imagine they'll still have plenty left. Here is the relevant part of Roger's e-mail: -o-O-o- voici l'adresse du site pour le commander et les références : http://www.librairie-picard.com Tél/ 33. (0)1.43.26.96.73 Fax/ 33. (0)1.43.26.42.64 Librairie Picard, 82, rue Bonaparte 75006 PARIS magasin ouvert du mardi au samedi de 10 h30 à 13 h et de 14 h à 19 h. La Librairie Picard a souvent des livres de Musique Ancienne et notamment de luth à proposer en quantité importante. C'est un interlocuteur à privilégier. -o-O-o- It is an excellent edition of some very playable music, and is well worth having on the shelves at home. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Ness (boston)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "LUTE NET" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 7:10 PM Subject: Re: La Magdalena > Robert, > > This book in English was published in a French series, so you may be able > easily to find it in a local library. > > There is a modern edition of "La Magdalena" and after dances with tablature > (by Pierre Blondeau from Dixhuit basses dances) is available in one of the > "classic" editions of lute music, > > TITLE Preludes, chansons and dances for lute / published by Pierre > Attaingnant, Paris, 1529-1530 ; edited by Daniel Heartz > > IMPRINT Neuilly-sur-Seine : Societe de musique d'autrefois, 1964. > > DESCRIPT lxxxvii p., 128 p. of music, 4 leaves of plates : ill. ; 32 cm. > > SERIES Publications de la Societe de musique d'autrefois.
