Don't believe everything they say! ;-) I think Zamboni is good music, he is not Weiss, he is not Bach, but neither is Bach Weiss, or Weiss Bach. Luckily! But there is also other good late baroque music that the German style.... As someone already remarked, Zamboni's style belongs to the Scarlatti's (the younger) world. It is well written to the instrument - he was a profesional lutenist. And definitely Zamboni uses also other harmonies than I-IV-V. Actually quite often. All the best and happy waiting for the new instrument! Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
