[LUTE] Re: Francisque
Hello Tristan and Jean-Marie. I've had a facsimile copy of the Tresor since one bought those things with a check in an envelope, and agree about the quality of the music, but haven't had it out in years, so thanks for the reminder. I have played through Susanne, but tend more toward the dances. Best, and keep playing, Chris.

Hi Tristan and all, "Le Trésor d'Orphée" is a very popular print with players interested in the music of the early 17th century, different from Vallet, Besard or Ballard. It is one of my frequent sources to perform from, but I would certainly not qualify its difficulty "moderate" !!! For instance the opening piece "Susanne un jour" requires a solid technique and so do some of the Galliards or Fantasies... True, some of the dances (Branles) are quite nice rewarding to play but not all of the music is simple and easy ! And by the way, an 8 course is much more "comfortable" to play it through ;-) !
