Im giving a talk on the lute next week and I was searching for a statistic about how much of the Renaissance lute repertoire consist of intabulations. Also, I am looking for statistics (estimates really) of how many tabs there are and could have been and how many songs with in tabulation there are. Ive heard that outside of the piano and possibly violin there is more lute music than for any other instrument. I want to back that up. If you could point me to some research or quotes somewhere on the Internet, I would be much obliged. Thanks in advance.
