Re: Vivaldi Lute Concerto

[doc rossi]

I think questions concerning which octave, which instrument, are 
anachronistic - in those days you played the music you wanted to play 
on the instrument you had, and adapted the music to suit.  This is 
quite harshly put, but the gist is there.  I've performed Vivaldi on 
18th-century cittern in C tuning and it works very well, without 
changing keys for pieces in Gm, D and so on.
