[LUTE] Re: intabulations
I thought recent research said that the lute has a greater repertoire
than any other instrument, with over fifty thousand pieces surviving,
not counting those lost.

i'm wondering if 'piano' here includes the harpsichord repertoire. a
fascinating topic to be sure...

Actually, Ive given talks before but it has been a while and the audience will be musicians so I want to polish it up. > More serious: there can't be any such data - not only did only a rather small > sample of music survive the > turmoils of time, we have no idea how representative of the music played back > then our surviving material is. There can only be estimates of what was. However, of the known pieces that exist in museums and such, it is possible to classify and count the numbers of dances, intabulations and freely composed pieces. Someone must have hazarded a guess. Ive heard some of the guesses. I just cant remember the number (was it half or 1/3) and I want to see it in writing. Maybe Ill wait until the day before :-) Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan http://www.youtube.com/user/edurbrow?feature=watch https://soundcloud.com/ed-durbrow http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/ -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Sounds like: https://i.redd.it/n8i4oh04h4cz.jpg ;-) More serious: there can't be any such data - not only did only a rather small sample of music survive the turmoils of time, we have no idea how representative of the music played back then our surviving material is. The Capirola lute book explicitly admits that it tries to twist natural selection ;-) Were intabulations really that popular, or were they a good market item because there production was so time-consuming (and hence one would rather buy those and save time instead of buying dances which could be reproduced after some careful listening). I've often heard claims about the volume of lute music, but I never found some convincing data. I guess it's mostly gut-feeling of lute players (who often don't know or neglect the fast amount of organ intabulations). Have fun with your lecture, Cheers, RalfD > Thanks in advance. > > Ed Durbrow > Saitama, Japan > http://www.youtube.com/user/edurbrow?feature=watch > https://soundcloud.com/ed-durbrow > http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/ > > > > > > > > > -- > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: intabulations
Hello, I have published some insights about Sarge Gerbode's tablature collection a while ago on our blog: [1]http://cuerdaspulsadas.es/blog/un-analisis-de-la-coleccion-de-tablat uras-de-sarge-gerbode/ Check out the section related to musical forms. It is not a comprehensive work but you can have a good idea about that and other related topics.

Ed, I asked Paul O'Dette at the LSA seminar last month about the general ratio between dances, fantasies/ricercars and intabulations in the 16th century. He put it at about one third for each.
