I was just playing dear old Languir me fait last night which happens
to be the first lutesong I was introduced to at Barrington in 78 or
79. Suzanne kindly and patiently sang the Attagnant with me. Nervous?
oh yes. She had me loving it in no time and for that brief moment I
have a lot to appreciate. Nice to see her name pop up this morning.

re-adjust your head because the ideas went by a bit faster than what
you heard from other people.

It looks like quite an independent strand of development of lute
technique was developed by Iadone, likely starting with the same
sources as Poulton used. I think Diana Poulton and Susanne
Bloch
became great friends in the '60s, but I could have my date wrong
there. Diana did attend at least one LSA get-together.
I would guess Iadone's influence on this side of the Pond mostly
came
via his student, the great Jim Tyler, who lived in London for
many
years.
I wondered if Paul O'Dette had studied lute with him, but as far
as I
can see the only lutenist teacher mentioned in his resume is
Eugen
Dombois - yet another strand!

Fortunately, I think, Iadone had no teacher (of lute) . He was
from
quite a different musical and lute 'family' than Dolmetsch and
Poulton; no relation to Dolmetsch, I would say, and only a very
distant relation to Poulton.
Best,
Ned

I couldn't agree more, Ned. But Schaeffer was the one who
successfully proselytised and tipped the balance.
Even before Iadone there was Arnold Dolmetsch - a
flesh-plucking-pinky-on-bridger, uncontaminated because he
learned
straight from the sources and didn't play classical guitar
first.
Here's an image of him around 100 years ago:

He went on to teach Diana Poulton, who went on to teach . . .
almost
everybody!
