But seriously, how do you play (pardon my French) o k i ?? Molinaro must have played a small lute... On 15.03.20 17:59, Sean Smith wrote: I foolishly mentioned that to him once.

[LUTE] Re: Molinaro 12
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. On 15.03.20 15:13, Christopher Stetson wrote: Hello all. I have Molinaro in facsimile, the old SPES edition. I'm sure I tried 12, but frankly remember that even #1 stretched my abilities. 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. -Chris.
