There is some interesting performance practice advice in the 1756
treatise on continuo playing. Daube says that it is best for
keyboardists not to arpeggiate; they shouldn't ordinarily roll chords
"as is done on the lute." He also says that harpsichordists should lift
their fingers from the keys as soon as the chord is sounded. Gasparini
said something similar in 1708. I don't know of too many harpsichord
players who actually do this.
Daube does allow for an arpeggiated chord in the so-called
theatrical style at the end of a big aria "when there is a lot of
applause"(!).

Re works by J F Daube, as well as the lute works, there is at least
one
piece by him which includes mandora: a sonata for violin and mandora
from his 'Musical Dilettante: A Treatise on Composition (Vienna,
1773
)'. This work was aimed at amateurs and especially aristocratic
dilettantes wishing to compose instrumental chamber music - it is
overshadowed by his earlier better known treatise on Thorough-Bass
in
Three Chords(!) of 1756. I don't have a copy of the original book
but
have a modern copy of the relevant piece in staff notation in Dr
Klima's hand. There is a modern edition of Musical Dilettante (in
English) by CUL (2006).
regards
Martyn

Dear lute friends,
Over the weekend I recorded three pieces in d-minor, Fantasia,
Andante
and Tempo di Menut, from the composer Johann Friedrich Daube.

Johann Friedrich Daube was born in 1733 in Hessen (Germany) and
died
in 1797 in Vienna (Austria). He played the theorbe at the Royal
Court
of Friedrich II ("Friedrich the Great") in Berlin where he also
met
Carl Phillipp Emanuel Bach. Via Stuttgart and Augsburg he moved
to
Vienna. His music combines elements of late baroque and early
classic.
I still need to find his traces in Vienna.
Has anyone more and specific information about Daube?
Kind regards from Vienna, Bernhard
