Dear Martyn,

 

Thank you for your kind mail and copy of the earlier FoMRHI joint paper. All 
German to English translations are correct as far I can see. Also the quote is 
fine. 

 

This is the copy of your citation in the original book: It starts with “Dises 
Concert ist a Quatro gemacht …”



 

The passage I cited (”Es betrügen sich auch gar wirklich jene, so glauben 
möchten, daß weillen dieses Werkh zum Concerten  gemacht, man nicht ein jedes 
Stückh allein zu seiner Zeit-Vertreibung, schlagen könnte, in denen einem 
jeden daß Widerspil & Effect zeigen wird, denn dieses allein zu schlagen mein 
erstes absehen gewesen ist”) looks like this and starts with „Es betrügen 
sich auch gar wirklich jene …“:



 

And can be translated into English “To those who belief that one cannot play 
each piece by itself for enjoyment, because the composition is presented as a 
concerto, cheat to themselves because this was my initial intension to play the 
lute alone to show grace and effects”.

 

And can be found in the foreword of vol. 1 of the series.



 

Best regards from Vienna,

Bernhard

Betreff: Re: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Wenzel Ludwig Edler von Radolt

 

Thank you for this Bernhard,

 

Yes indeed, Von Radolt has interesting things to say to us. 

An earlier FoMRHI joint paper explores his instructions:

Comm 737 Von Radolts instructions to lute players (,,,1701).

 <https://www.fomrhi.org/uploads/bulletins/Fomrhi-044.pdf> 
https://www.fomrhi.org/uploads/bulletins/Fomrhi-044.pdf

 

This paper has an English translation of Von Radolt's

 instructions  and also a commentary on them. As explained

 in the paper, the translation aimed to be literal rather literary.

 With regard to your observation about playing the concerts 

with just  one lute, here's what the translation has:

 

This "Concert" is in four parts and so each lute part 

corresponds to a fiddle part, and because of the good high 

humour when one has taken a fiddle, a small bass, fiddle 

and a bass all tuned from the small lute, in this "Concert" the 

soprano part that is the small lute must at all times be set 

strongly, and so when the second and third lute are doubled 

then the first should be at least tripled, however if the second 

and third lutes are single the first must be set doubled, making

 a particularly good effect when one part is played, accordingly,  

It is still complete when three single lutes are used with the 

other parts silent, in a similar way one can nevertheless one 

time expel all but the first lute playing alone, or with two lutes,

 and it may also be well played with fiddles or oboes without

 lutes or also with lutes without fiddles.'

 

In short, virtually any combination was sanctioned by the composer....

 

regards

 

MH

  Dear lute friends,

 

 

  Wenzel Ludwig Edler von Radolt (Vienna, 1667 to 1716), an

  Austro-Italian aristrocratic descent, was a lutenist and composer in

  Vienna at the Imperial Court. He claims to have be inspired by the

  french Dufault. In 1701 he presented his lute concerts to Joseph I

  (Holy Roman Emperor since 1705). In total he printed 12 so-called

  ’Concerti’ in the collection ”Die Aller Treüeste Freindin” (Die Aller

  Treueste Freundin). In his ”Die Aller Treüeste Freindin”, the lute was

  used for the first time as an obligato instrument in the string

  ensemble. These concerts document the use of Baroque lutes in different

  sizes.

 

  However, in the foreword to ”Die Aller Treüeste Freindin” he announces

  that it was his first intension to composed pieces for the solo lute,

  and later then he added the other instruments. Accordingly he

  encourages other lutenists to play the lute parts of his ’Concerti’ on

  the solo instrument with the words ”Es betrügen sich auch gar wirklich

  jene, so glauben möchten, daß weillen dieses Werkh zum Concerten

  gemacht, man nicht ein jedes Stückh allein zu seiner Zeit-Vertreibung,

  schlagen könnte, in denen einem jeden daß Widerspil & Effect zeigen

  wird, denn dieses allein zu schlagen mein erstes absehen gewesen ist”.

  (While I am fully capable to understand this old German language and

  its meaning, I am NOT capable translating this phrase into propper

  English. Sorry. You have to trust me).

 

  According I tried my best in home-recording some of his pieces from the

  lute concerto in d-minor on the solo baroque lute.

 

  In his compositions Radolt makes frequent use of separate playing the

  main and the octave strings of the bass courses, as well actively

  stopping individual strings.

 

  I play all pieces on my gut strung 11-course Frei lute (392 Hz. String

  length is 67 cm, build by Mr. Renatus Lechner), which is very close to

  Radolt’s recommendation to play the lute piece on a small instrument.

 

 

  Please remember, I am full-time biochemist in Vienna, Austria. The

  audios are available in my ”Viennalute A” channel

  I appriate your critical comments, and please: the much more capables

  and professionals among you/us should take on this inspiration to play

  the baroque lute music composed by Wenzel Ludwig Edler von Radolt more

  than 300 years ago.
