Hi all, definitely my intention was not to insult Roman! I think Roman knows that, but perhaps not all other? I do know only a tiny portion of Roman's huge output, but still I have seen many beautiful pieces he has composed or arranged. And they also work well on the instrument.
My aim was more general: Should there be new music for our old instrument, what kind of music, ... I was not especially asking for "modern music" in the sense of 1950's and 1960's trends. Not at all. Neither was I asking for music that doesn't stylistically differ from the "original" baroque. Actually it is quite difficult to say, what I asked, because I really do not know! If I could, that music wouldn't be new! So I guess best I can say, I would like composers to try their hands in writing to the baroque lute. Without me saying what kind of music that should be. Well, of course I can say: it should be good music... ;-) All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
