Unfortunately, modern music needs playing on the highest level, including a well tuned instrument. I'm wonderig if, besides of the superstition of the tablature, the double stringing of the lute isn't another obstacle in activating a lute to do what cpmposer/performer wants to do. Notice that a single strung theorbo survives in company with other instruments, whereas double strung lute has problems.
Besides, the d-m tuning has great and still unexplored potency, against Peter Croton's reluctance to it http://www.peter-croton.com/Bach_CD.html and especially Paolo Cherici's view on its usebility http://www.preludiomusic.com/doc/news/allegati/13-bach-visione.pdf J ----- On 2010-10-09, at 12:57, Bernd Haegemann wrote: > Hi Stephan, dear all, >> http://www.modernlutemusic.com/ >> I don't remember if there is something for d-minor lute on this site, but >> interesting anyway. > There is for example > > http://www.modernlutemusic.com/AMORIC__MICHEL.html > > some pieces for the dm-lute > even with a tablature of "Blancrocher XXI", unfortunately without the related > Hupfauf "Blancmanger XVII" ;) > I have the whole CD!
