Dear Arthur and all, BTW, I have found evidence that Carl Ferdinand Becker must have aquired the Bach tablatures (995, 997, 1000) before the 1836 Breitkopf auction where he served as advisor, 1832/33 at latest. His fellow Bach collector Franz Hauser knew about it. So the entry "Praeludien etc" "3 Bog.[en]" in the auction catalogue refers to the score of 995 (to Fetis) only, the plural seems to be a mistake.

Also the Pichler piece in Ms II 4087 (viii) according to Tim Crawford. Meyer, Christian. "Les Manuscrits De Luth Du Fonds Fétis (Bruxelles, Bibliothèque Royale Albert Ier, Mss II 4086-4089)."

Also listed with complete titles in Boetticher's RISM VII inventory, pp. 62-4. These were from the Fétis collection and may have been acquired from the Breitkopf auction of 1832 (can't find my notes). The catalogue is extremely rare, but is about 1 ½ inches thick.*** Breitkopf decided to empty their warehouse of outmoded music. What a treasure!! Unique copies of some of the Bach lute pieces were among the offering.

Mai 2018 21:05 An: Lute Net Betreff: [LUTE] Johann Kropfgans Dear Roland, Iââ¬â¢m afraid I donââ¬â¢t know about these trios by Johann Kropfgans, but I would very much like to know more about them. I see from a quick search on the internet that Kropfgans wrote chamber music for the lute, violin and cello, including one in C minor, but I see no evidence of lute trios. It is possible that Lutz Kirchhof made his own lute trio arrangements from those chamber music pieces, but Iââ¬â¢m only guessing. Hopefully youââ¬â¢ll be able to find out more. Best wishes, Stewart.
