Let me put it this way: I like to think of a piece of music as
telling a story.
May that translate as musical rhetorics? Judy Tarlan once described it for
renaissance lute music in a Lute News issue IIRC. And there was that most
enlightening article on the impact of French verse on French

Betreff:
I play mostly 11 course b-lute, not great facility on the 13 course yet (my
13-c string spacing is dramatically different, which throws me off). I have not
played any Weiss, but I want to learn a moderate, to moderately easy complete
Weiss suite on 11 course. Does anyone have a recommendation
Go through the London manuscript. The suites #1 (F, fol. 1), #13 (d, fol.
56v), #19 (d, fol. 91) are good for starters IMO. The suites in F and d in
the Dresden ms. aren't more difficult, but they require 13 courses.
BTW I'd always save preludes for the last.
