Dear Jocelyn,
I've seen this 1847 picture before and, of course, it is not a
representation made during the time the 5 course ('baroque') guitar was
actually played. It's in the faux style beloved of mid-19th century
artosts (and their public) depicting old scenes in what was
Many thanks for this Monica,
I'm very grateful for your scholarly translations of these (on which I
hoped I had based my own paraphrase) and, of course, other contemporary
sources on strumming techniques.
Might I just focus on the particular repicco Chris mentioned and which
Dear Stuart,
Thanks for this. I do hope you won't really give up! Like you I'm
sometimes reluctant to be quite so strict about what strum I employ but
I think, also like you, I'm aware of the historical instructions.
I do think these strums were part of general play as, indeed,
Dear Monica,
I'm replying at the beginning: I think this is the more logical way to
do it - this way the most recent communication is always at the top (
rather like letters files). And I'm sorry you found my earlier mailing
was such a mess! - I'll try to do better.

Allow me a few points:
I don't believe my so-called trill is part of the flamenco technique.
Perhaps that's why I accepted it so readily! But I'm not aware of any
flamenco performances using this approach. For a rolling continuation
of strums Flamenco seems to use all four
Dear Chris,
I'm sure it's wise for us all to explore these things further and with
care and reference to the sources.
Regarding courses: I'm not sure if I'd accept as gospel some personal
assertion of preference not backed up by hard evidence - whoever the
tutor may be! It is
Dear Martyn...
Well, I called this thing a trill -- the term tillo never passed my
lips (or fingers, I guess). I understood it as trill, sitting in a
class given in another language... And my hearing has deteriorated
with the years, I might add. I thought the word was trino,
Dear Martyn
It wasn't specifically your message. It is just that some of us put
our reply at the beginning and others at the end. Stuart puts his
replies at the end so that when when replying to his I try to do the
same. But others put it at the beginning.Surely we can
I quoted both prefaces in full thinking this would be helpful but
perhaps not especially as my translation could be improved on.
What Corbetta says in the Italian preface is clearer.
Observe that the four tied notes signify that one must first make the
note with second finger
Well trino and trillo are two different things - but I can understand how
they might get muddled up.

Dear Chris,
I had thought I used Corbetta's own word 'trillo' for the particular
strum with an up and down movement of the index only. And, indeed, as
you'll see from the below - I did!
Dunno where tillo, trino etc come from.

Dear Martyn...
Without a doubt, you referred to the trillo in this discussion. I'm
only saying that I never called this thing that I executed by the name,
trillo. I had assumed it was a trill (perhaps out of ignorance,
language difficulties, and bad hearing). But I think we're in
All I can say is that I agree with this. The problem arises when
several people reply to a message consecutively, some at the top and
some at the bottom.
The important thing is to keep the discussion in a logical sequence
which everyone can follow.
