For example "After the dense harmonies of the 16th century, a simpler style of music emerged, allowing performers to develop improvisational talents. Yet many contemporary musicians play "early music" pieces as closely as possible to the way they were played when they were written." Renaissance music is full of "Simpler Music" with some grounds having only 2 chords. Can't get much simpler. Also I don't believe the Baroque saw an increase in improvising skills and quality. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
