Hello there, I have the impression that Courantes have the tendency to be technically much less challenging than other compositions of their time - most striking it appears in Kapsberger's first book (1611). What seems to be the reason? Was a Courante a piece of teaching material? Or where they pop tunes of their time, hence "crowd pleasers"? Also from descriptions I understand that they are not to be played at a high speed neither as if it was to show of one's speed skills.
Looking forward to hear some ideas, thank you. Jurgen ---------------------------------- "Close your eyes. Fall in love. Stay there." JalÃl ad-Dën Muhammad Rumi To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
