I hope you haven't taken this quotation from my webpage where I quoted the
same passage :-)
I've already answered in a different mail and although not knowing this
quotation at that time I still think my remarks are valid. You know: what
does "profit" mean in that context?
Best wishes
Thomas

Hi Thomas, there is even one more, lets say better proof for the fact
that he was a pupil of Weiss.
Walter writes in his Lexicon from 1732 "Unter währender Zeit ist er
etliche Monate in Dresden gewesen, und hat daselbst von der berühmten
lautenisten, Hrn. Weiss proffitieret".
in English: Then he was several months to Dresden, where he profited
from the famous lutenist Mr. Weiss.
Best
Markus

Baron only says many tried to get hold of the Weissian method.

So I would say, if he uses 'a' occassionally, what is proved, he will have
used it more commonly.
