Dear Rainer, oh yes, a dear memory, but it's just 15 years ago :-) I think we played from the facsimile, and it didn't sound too bad... And Mark has switched gear and is doing historically informed rock music these days, see https://www.facebook.com/RockBottom70sHardRock/ Glad to hear you are still doing editorial work, your Holborne edition was superb! Regards Stephan

Januar 2018 16:43 An: Lute net Betreff: [LUTE] Vallet's quartets Dear lute netters, my Vallet editions has reached milestone 1. All pieces entered and proofread numerous times. 70% of the critical notes entered (a nightmare). I wonder if it makes sense to add the quartets. As far as I know there was an edition published by Tree(?). Anyway, I have played Vallet quartets only once in my life in Mark Wheelers flat in Muelheim 20 years ago. The players were Mark (who seems to have disappeared), Stefan from Wuppertal, Kenneth Bee (still on the lute list?) and myselfe. Now I have listened to one of the quartets in Fronimo. It sounds VERY strange - lots of wrong notes. In his article about the quartets Stan Buetens argued that they sound OK when played on lutes. What do people say who have played the quartets? Should I include them in my edition? Rainer PS Playing music for 4 lutes was really fun :) To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
