Subj: MS CZ- Bm D 189
Dear Martyn
If you had taken the trouble to read the message that I sent to the
Vihuela
list on 31st January you would know what my conclusions about this
manuscript were. There is no need for me to clarify my position
further
and I do not believe you are interested in composing a constructive
reply.
It seems that all you are interested in is bullying someone who
disagrees with you by misrepresenting what they have said and by
posting offensive personal comments about them to as many people as
you
can.
As far I am concerned the matter is now closed.
Monica

a fresh tack! 2
Dear Monica,
Your earlier message of 31 Jan is, in fact, below - simply scroll
down
to find it......
Rather than this Trumpesque bluster and obfuscation would you now
please
simply and, is it too much to hope, politely answer the direct
question
put to you.
As carefully explained, this will provide you with the opportunity
to
properly
clarify your precise position over the instruments required for the
pieces in this
MS and will then enable a constructive reply to be composed.
Here's the relevant question again:
'- as I understand it from what you have written, your position
is that the vast
majority (about 98%) of the some 124 works for plucked instruments
in
this MS
are for a six course gytarra and that just three are for a mandora
(according to
you a twelve course instrument with five fingered courses and
seven free
basses - you stated that "The mandora has seven unstopped basses"
)'
Is this still a correct statement of your position?
regards
Martyn
PS I copy this to the 'Baroque Lute' list since the mandora is a
lute
family
instrument ( - and a baroque lute to boot!) and such messages are
therefore
entirely relevant on that list. If the mandora were a guitar I
wouldn't.
