The American Lute Society Journal, JLSA XXXVI (2003) has an important
and interesting article and translations by George Torres about/of the
prefaces of several French lute book prefaces. Strongly recommended!

Greetings,
I have been looking at the performance of Hurel by Christopher Wilke on
his CD and have a couple of questions:
1. Between the Menuet de l'Opera and the Chaconne composee pour
Melle De la Balme on the last track there is an interlude that is not
clear to me where it comes from. Anyone have a thought?
2. What is a good reference for French Baroque performance
practice on Lute and/or Theorbo (preferably in English)? I hear lots of
ornamentation as well as additional notes in the CD performance and
would love to have some guidance on what is stylistically appropriate.
Otherwise I end of copying what I hear (which is not bad but having
knowledge would be nice).
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
Regards
David
