I'm curious to know when the playing of notes with left hand only first appeared. Clearly it was used whenever there were graces to be played, but what about written-out phrases? I have noticed there are slur-like indications in later baroque lute music under phrases that lend themselves to left-hand-only playing. Is that the intent?
Sorry if this is baby stuff, but I'm not terribly familiar with the later sources. Thanks, Bill Samson -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
