Dear lutenists,
yesterday Piccinini (see below), today Toccata by the little brother of
the famous astronomer:

and

Also this Toccata has some interesting technical features: several times
you need to finger frets b and f on neighboring courses! And there are
also other quite tricky fingerings...
My old lute teacher used to say that you should take the stretches as
you do when yawning, not forcing anything. I think that was good advice!
All the best,
Arto

Ciao, dear lutenists,
I just tried to play the shortest and easiest lute Toccata by the
Piccininis (father or son) - and even this is not at all easy... If
interested, you'll find my try in

and also in

And then something ONLY to you, who actually play this piece: in my 10
courser I now have an octave up to the c-course: That really seems to
solve a problem in voicing that I have wondered for years: the phrase
in bars 15-22 works much better by this stringing - at least to my
understanding!
Best,
Arto
