Dear all Earlier in the week some-one was asking about the way Claire Antonini plays the VG Chaconne. Is the issue about the way she plays it in relation to the text about her application of notes inegales? - the pratice of playing quavers in 3 time unequally - slightly lengthening (usually) the first of any pair of quavers and shortening the second. Unfortunately most of my books are in store at the moment, but I think this practice is mentioned in Mersenne in the 1630s and certainly by Hotteterre in the first decade of the 18th century (with lots of other references in-between and after). I seem to remember that Groves online has a decent article on notes inegales. Sorry if this has been covered eralier in the week but for some reason I don't seem to receive all of the postings. Best wishes Chris --
