Dear lutensits,
I have corrected some errors in the 6-course version: one flag was wrong
and worse still, two bars had too many notes... Now it should be ok.
Today I got ready(?) also the archlute version. Now my page says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* 6-course lute: Is this art or sport? Well, violin has only 4
strings... :-)
This is a classical "thumb under", "thumb-index", renaissance lute
version. Some very fast runs have been "recomposed" to make it possible
for lute. The melody goes very high - 12th fret- in section 63-72. Many
sections of the piece are perhaps useful also as "thumb-index" etydes?
* Archlute: I think this version is a little easier for making art...
This version is harmonized in the archlute way. Actually only in the
middle section (bars 77-92) more than 9 courses are needed. And if you
can play the piece at all, you certainly are able to edit that part for
your number of courses... ;-)
In this version the high section (bars 63-72) is taken down an octave -
no 12th frets! To my taste this sounds better on archlute, but if you
like athletics, you can easily borrow that section from the 6-course
version. Also in this archlute version the very fast runs have been
"recomposed".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know, if you have problems in printing those pdf's, or if you
find some severe errors.
All the best,
Arto
