Dear list, Is there a rationale for Piccinini's suggestion that chords, e.g. like this --- -0- --- -3- -2- -0- be played by striking the courses in the order 5/p, 2/i ,1/m, 3/i. Then there also is the other strange thing in his instructions. I wonder, did he loose his ring finger in a duel? A

I'm sure he preferred the sound. Whether he himself, or others, adhered to the instructions religiously is another matter. He certainly qualifies as an expert. dt At 10:43 AM 7/22/2008, you wrote: >Does it have anything to do with The Orbo? (cf. Kapsperger) > >>"Peter Nightingale" <[EMAIL PROT

I think David R's point about Merle is not only exactly right but has a broader sense as well, which is that every odd thing we see in paintings, pcures, etc is reflected in popular music--including everything popular, that is. Thumbs hanging over, two fingerd technique, the list goes on and on.
