That seems right. I have encountered a number of intabulations of 
multi-voice (like 5-6) pieces that seem unplayable (and not just to me),

Molinaro's music is rich in rapid passage work but the real difficulty
lies in managing the counterpoint.  He was an organist and some of his
lute tablature transcribed into keyboard notation could sound very well
on an organ.  I think he just worked out his lute arrangements to the

2020-03-15 Thread Tristan von Neumann

Molinaro's collection is one of the best books!

You should have a look at it again.

No. 1 isn't that difficult, maybe you weren't up to par back then.

It plays better with thumb out.

Other playable fantasies are Nos. 3, 5 and 13.

The Conte Orlando Ballo is also nice to have in the repertoire.

But No. 12 is certainly one of the most difficult pieces of the entire
literature.

I guess even Paul O'Dette struggled a lot with it.


Passamezzo was *the* learning platform for diminutions and improvisation.

It was after 1560 that those really gained momentum.

Wurstisen Lute Book has 100 of them, many very unusual and creative.

That was at least 25 years ago, though, so perhaps I should take
another look (especially now while I have some spare time). However,
having gotten the book out, I'm reminded of an old question: did lute
players ca. 1600 really like passamezo variations THAT much?
Best, and keep playing.
