Dear Thomas, I'm very sorry about what you wrote and that the German lute society lost an active member. However, I cannot see any personal attack in the mail you quoted. I don't know either if it is good to post such personal things to the list. Personal feuds in public are always a bit

Dear Stephan and list: Unfortunately, some people take any disagreement with their point of view as a personal attack and react vigorously to that. I just joined this list a few days ago, but I've been on several music lists in the past, and the same things happen. We musicians often have

Tobiah-- That notation is Capirola's (perhaps) unique notation for a split course. Stop one string only of the course, play the other string open. It is noted thus in the original manuscript of his works transcribed by a student. In the measure you cite, you'll be playing an open a
