Hi Betsy,
Cosi le chiome IS a duet. Pages 24 to 28 in the facsimile. To play Terzi
well, I'd say you need to have played for quite a few years, and have good
finger control, on at least intermediate level. Stretches are sometimes
quite prohibitive if not played on a descant lute. There are a few "easier"
pieces in the books, but they are the exception to the rule IMO. If you
wish, I could scan the 5 pages and send them by PM, as the lutelist does not
allow for attachments (this particular piece does not seem to be available
digitally). Pls. let me know!
Best
G.

Subject: [LUTE] Terzi duets
Can anyone tell me about Terzi's "Cosi le chiome"? IS it even a
duet?--and if so, is it published, or would it be something put
together for a particular performance?
Are Terzi's duets completely out of the question for the relative
newcomer to the lute repertoire? -- if some are more accessible than
others, which ones? I appreciate your commentary--I was blown away by
this music! Thanks
