According to JFReichardt - his lutenist father could produce a passage of 6
tones with his left hand, on a single pluck.
His father was a student of Belogradsky, a student of Weiss in turn.

Subject: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Hammering on and snapping off
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
