I see no reason to believe that the suite of pieces at the STADTbibliothek in Nuremberg are not by Pachelbel, Wilhelm Pachelbel, Johann's son. I examined the manuscript many years ago, and once made a half-hearted attempt to trace the pieces to Johann by using the Pachelbel Works Catalogue. But the catalogue is a disaster and really impossible to read--the author's work was assembled posthumously by a non-musician, who didn't even know what "cembalo" meant. The lute pieces in Nurnberg are not mentioned. And are fairly well known in published arrangements for guitar (one by Aziapazu; I think he misreads the titles, but Peter Steur has the correct spelling, iirc).
The manuscript appears to have been disbound by a later dealer from a larger manuscript from the Harrach library. It was split up to make easier the sale of smaller lots of pieces. Other parts of the manuscript ended up at the New York Public Library (the bookbinder's glue can be seen on the spines of the fascicles). Others from the manuscript may still be in private possession. This sale was in 1956, when Bob Spencer bought those concertinos and sinfonia with originals in pitch notation (The sinfonia is available on my web site: [1]http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/arthurjnesslutescores/sinfonia.ht ml AJN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernd Haegemann" <[2]b...@symbol4.de> To: <[3]baroque-l...@cs.dartmouth.edu>; <[4]theoj89...@aol.com> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 3:32 PM Subject: [BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: Pachelbel B-lute pieces > beste Theo, > > >> Are there a few pieces composed by Johann Pachelbel in a baroque lute manuscript somewhere > > [5]http://mss.slweiss.de/index.php?lang=deu&id=2&type=mss&st=0&nm=50&ti tle=&key=&msnam=&comp=Pachelbel > > > (does my memory serve me correct)?
