Hi Adrian, Matt Chris, and all others too numerous to mention ---- I would like a bit of help here. I look quite often at the Peacock manuscript, /*tunes transcribed for smallpipes*/, if we look at o'er the dyke you can clearly see legato marking over some notes, in others you see legato followed by a clear staccato sign, this being repreated through the tune. In My ain Kind Dearie it is even more pronounced the the staccato notes be extra strongly staccato but are legato'ed as well (5 bars from the end and the penultimate bar, but not legato in bar 15)-- how should we play this ? I would appreciate any help because I cannot get local expertise on trad style for NSP, musically I can fully understand what was intended, it being very close to a Bassoon style ---
Thanks in advance Dave Singleton -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
