One of the top lute players once confessed to me why he is no longer
playing with his broken ensemble (we were talkng about the English
repertoire), becouse the other parts, beside of the lute, are so
boring, mostly in very long notes, that nobody really wants to play
it with him.
It is undertandable then, every flute or viola player tends to play
all the whole and half notes faster. Of course hard to finde a
compromise. Easy-dificult music and only one has fun.
