Dear Arto, This Mouton Prelude is well known and included in lute school books as teaching material / example. It is included in several historic manuscripts in various versions, with and without dissection the bass course. For your kind information I attach my hand-written copy of this piece from the Vienna MS 17706.
Best regards from Vienna, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] Im Auftrag von Arto Wikla Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11.

Here Mouton uses his unique(?) technique of playing first only the low octave of a bass course and only after some higher strings the upper octave of the same bass course. So it is actually the "campanella" technique better known in baroque guitar music. You can find my version in [1]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N64w2NH6hCg&feature=youtu.be It is quite short, 46 seconds. The campanella passage starts in about 0:21, where the bass goes C-B-A-G-F (a'A5Hz). Does anyone know, whether any other baroque lutenist used this technique? All the best, Arto -- References 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N64w2NH6hCg&feature=youtu.be To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --
