The article was aimed at the guitar crowd,
And that's probably why the article is a bit superficial. ;-) A real
contribution would need to be in scholarly style. No references here, no
mentioning of newer literature (e.g. by Negwer, Dierksen, Hofmann,
Ledbetter), lots of statements without evidence.

still clinging to illusions
of lute. It's tough letting go.
But he put it all together very nicely, I thought.

While I enjoyed this read, I didn't see anything particularly new
here. For example, Hopkinson Smith specifically named all the sources
of Bach's original "lute" music in the liner notes he drafted for his
recording of this music around 30 years ago. He also stated their
evident non-lute provenance. I have heard Paul O'Dette unequivocally
state on more than one occasion something like "Sorry, Bach did not
write for the lute." Etc. I suspect that anybody who is still
clinging to the notion that Bach knowingly composed lute music after
having had some exposure to some reference of the source material
either really, really wants to believe so to somehow legitimize the
lute or is a fan of modern classical guitar who wants to somehow
legitimize the perceived ancestor of his/her own instrument.
Best,

A very interesting article. I can't wait to see the responses from
the rest of the list! I am reminded that Walther Gerwig did an
arrangement of Bach's Cello Suite No.1 in G major, BWV1007. Very nice
and beautifully played - in Renaissance tuning!
