Dear Dan,
Can you give us a page reference? I don't remember this bit.
But it really strikes a chord with me - if I play the (6c) lute
standing, and improvising, I find myself wandering round the room! I
wonder why?
Mark Wheeler does some nifty sprinting from one side of the stage to the
other, but I guess he's just trying to present a moving target (sorry
Mark, couldn't resist...).
Best to All,
Martin

Thomas Mace, Musicke's Monument. He extolls the wonderful advantages
of playing not just while standing, but walking around. Says it frees
the mind for improvising. And why limit lute playing to just
standing, walking, or even running? I hope Roman doesn't mind my
posting this from his website:
