[VIHUELA] Re: Sor's harpolyre
Thanks Rob, I've ordered it as well. Not sure if ithe music was 'lost' though. The principal modern work on Sor (Brain Jeffrey's book) gives the same source for all three works (Paris Bibliotheque Nationale) and their titles etc - all published in 1820 and by the same publisher incidentally - Salman, Rue Colbert who I don't believe was one of his usual publishers. Interestingly the prices look comparable with his ordinary guitar publications. Presumabvly Salman 'took a punt' on this new instrument M --- On Sat, 22/11/08, Rob MacKillop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Rob MacKillop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [VIHUELA] Sor's harpolyre To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: "Vihuela" Date: Saturday, 22 November, 2008, 9:37 AM Does this link work?

[VIHUELA] Re: Sor's harpolyre
Didn't the Youtube videos circulate here or on the Early Guitar list way back when they were first posted? I've handled at least one of these beasts (there's a decent example in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art), but never really endeavored to make music with or even to tune one. Such things just aren't for me; the technical issues of jumping between string sets seems too cumbersome and the dedicated repertoire is just too scarce. Frankly, I would be tempted to trivialize this particular guitar paradigm as never having escaped the amusing-novelty stage of development. Alex Timmerman in the Netherlands is a bit of a guitar-with-sub-bass-diapasons aficionado. He had a two-part article in consecutive issues of GuitArt a few years ago that I am fairly sure touched on harpolyre. I have reprints someplace, and I can dig up a more formal citation soon if anybody is really curious.
