I agree. The best of which I'm aware is scattered references to scattered instruments in literature focused either on specific collections or instrument types--just a couple e-examples: http://orgs.usd.edu/nmm/PluckedStrings/Guitars/Sellas/3346/DomenicoSellasGuitar.html http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1990.103 Regarding guitars attributed to members of the Sellas family, those are often catalogued as no better than "attributed to." There is also a lovely 1642 mandola/liuto catalogued by Morey by M. Sellas.

[VIHUELA] Re: de Visee Chaconne in a minor to the guitar?
I don't think those of us who play the baroque guitar need staff notation versions at all to play from although I sometimes make them for myself to refer to so that I can see the underlying harmony or counterpoint more clearly. I can't therefore see any point in making transcriptions with notes on the 4th and 5th courses always in the lower octave. I don't think my examiners would have had a problem with Strizich's edition. Both were keyboard players and presumably used to seeing fingering and other performance markings. What threw them was that the notes were in the wrong octave and there were all these leaps of a 7th or a 9th But it is not only academics who don't understand guitar notation. Some players of other plucked stringed instruments don't either. A prominent member of the Lute Society didn't realize that baroque guitar music wasn't notated in staff notation until I enlightened him! And frankly I find it difficult to follow lute tablature if it is for anything other than the "old tuning". I like to have a transcription for anything I am not familiar with. If we want the instrument and its music to be taken more seriously I think we have to make it more accessible. The biggest problem is transcribing music in the re-entrant tuning because you end up with so many unisons... Still I think we have to try.

I should clarify that the straight-to-A transcriptions work best for me in music that is most workable in that tuning. I find it pretty satisfactory for de Visee, Guerau, etc. Ironically, the one perhaps most poorly served by non-reentrant notation, Sanz, is perhaps the most commonly abused by it. I suppose we should blame Segovia. I suppose the issue is that actual-pitch transcriptions of music written to reentrant tuning are of potential use to characters like Respighi or academics who don't play the instruments in question, but of little use to those who play...and it seems to me that characters like Respighi are relatively rare. ...And those who play the instruments in question almost universally take the time to learn how to use the tablature, which is often more clear regarding reentrant tunings. So, I guess there is an academic purpose to such transcriptions, but the audience to benefit most is very limited, and those transcriptions are of limited use in performance. I seem to recall that Strizich actually recommended putting a stock b string on the modern guitar where the A used to be and tuning that string to a. Frankly, my modern guitars get more regular use in post-reentrant music, and dedicating any instrument to such a scheme isn't practical for me. Staff notation is really a rather linear scheme.

From: Martyn Hodgson Subject: Re: [VIHUELA] Re: de Visee Chaconne in a minor to the guitar? To: "Monica Hall" Date: Thursday, 22 November, 2012, 15:17 Dear Monica, I think you've misunderstood my point about fellow academics! - sorry I wasn't clearer. In writing this: ' I also find Strizich more complicated than necessary and really only useful for academics interested in the period guitar who don't actually play the instrument - are there any?' I was _not_ making the point that academics should not take an interest in the 5 course guitar, but that I couldn't conceive of them doing very much unless they played the instrument - at least at a basic level. Your thirdly comment below ('Their re-action was "The music is rubbish isn't it?" Fortunately the third examiner was a guitarist'.) reinforces my point. Moreover, what would the first two examiners have said if presented them with a Strizich style transcription? probaby passed out I shouldn't wonder. Though on reflection, you may be right about not using a low bass 4th and 5th course as a sort of substitute tablature as I suggested earlier: not so much from the point of notational precision, but because it muddies the waters of different possible interpretations depending on whether the thumb or finger is plucking, the angle of pluck employed (ie to emphasise a particular string within a course), etc. But Heaven alone knows how we should notate this subjective and interpretative matter: perhaps Strizich was on the right lines in using small notes (maybe making them faint too might help) but I think he over-eggs the pudding by trying to make his transcriptions served different purposes: to both represent the sounds and to show where to finger notes. For non-guitar players a transcription is probably best just left as a staff notation showing pitches (with small notes) and no playing markings. regards Martyn --- On Thu, 22/11/12, Monica Hall wrote: From: Monica Hall Subject: Re: [VIHUELA] Re: de Visee Chaconne in a minor to the guitar?

Well - apparently Strizich has recently done a completely new edition of De Visee arranged for 6-string guitar. I think it is published by Dobermann-Ypan in Canada but not being a 6-string person I don't have a copy of it. I do remember playing some of De Visee when I was learning classical guitar - but I didn't care for it very much that way! De gustibus non disputandum.

[VIHUELA] Re: de Visee Chaconne in a minor to the guitar?
Dear Stuart, As mentioned in our recent exchange on a Losy sarabande: these French chaconnes are good examples of the sort of idiomatic arrangement to be expected from a decent professional musician at the time. Judging from 5 course guitar music in some (amateur?) compiled MSs (such as the execrable Goess Vogl - even after inserting the 'right' flags etc) there was an oceanic gulf between many amateur players and paid performers - not, it has to be said, so much apparent nowadays. I guess an interesting, if academic, question is which version came first regards Martyn. --- On Sun, 11/11/12, WALSH STUART wrote: From: WALSH STUART Subject: [VIHUELA] Re: de Visee Chaconne in a minor to the guitar?

The link probably does work but you have to let the whole file download before it can be played. So click on it and wait a few minutes (if you can be bothered!) I uploaded a large wav file because the mp3 version was far too quiet for some unknown reason.
