Hello Chris, Since you are actively engaged in scholarly pursuits regarding the lute, have you run into any decomposing lute composers who have been found to be women?
I only have music by Madamoiselle Bocquet. Are there others that you can identify? There have got to be others. Or is it possible that women were behind all of the music, especially the best pieces, but didn't get any of the credit for cultural reasons?
