There are more of such in Donald's recent kind donation to the Lute Soc. He was v keen on transcribing stuff for small guitars and mandores.

Interesting - it doesn't sound like Foscarini to me and it cannot be from his 1629 book as the music in this is entirely in alfabeto. Can you let me have a copy of it!... Monica I'll send you a scan. These Lute Society sheets are possibly from the 1970s. Donald produced two sheets of 4-course guitar arrangements. One was devoted to Calvi pieces and the other to Granata and Foscarini. There are four Foscarini pieces, the familiar Pavaniglia con parti variate and Sarabande Francese and two correntes which I don't remember seeing and I haven't searched for them. This particular Corrente does sound very Foscarini-eeny to me, or at least similar to other realisations of Foscarini's contentious tab. As ever the actual melodic line and phrasing is blurry but it has sort of signature melancholy - or perhaps he just used more sevenths than others.
