Dear Roman and Rainer, The only mention of Lenz I can find on the Baroque Lute List is a message from Marcus Lutz on 8th May 2001. To save you looking for it, I've copied it below.
My archives go back only as far as 29th October 1999, so it is possible that there are other messages about Lenz on the Baroque Lute List, which are earlier than that. I've not checked the main Lute List. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. Marcus' message: Hello Roman, Hamann seemed to have been playing in coffee houses to earn his living (before and after the told meeting with this lutenist). Look at (in German) http://mauthner-gesellschaft.de/mauthner/hist/hama/hama3.html There is another poet of the Sturm-und-Drang-Period from Königsberg, who liked to play the lute: Jakob M. R. Lenz (1751-1792).
