That I can not say. But since pianos, being percussion instruments and not plucked

Thanks to all who tried to help (in vain).
I finally got some advice from Microsoft, and they said that no driver would
load properly because there are some .vxd files missing from the operating
system, and the only solution is finding a Windows 98 CD appropriate for a 5
year old Toshiba somewhere
Dear Bill,
The question of HIP is not confined to the world of early music. In
the field of bluegrass, for example, there are enthusiasts who
transcribe music from records, and learn to play note for note the
semi-improvised music of such luminaries as Earl Scruggs and Bill
Keith. So keen are they
Danke vielmals, Stephan. Sehr schön. :-)

You make a good point here, Stewart, one I feel I'd like to elaborate
upon. One reason a performance of early music can never be "authentic" is
that all performances will lack an authentic audience. When Bakfark's or
Piccinini's music was new and exciting, nothing like it had been heard by

Hi all,
Personally, I see HIP as a step in the direction of the revival of the lute
as a modern instrument. What we are learning now from the old sources
cannot be a complete goal in itself - for one thing, the place for
improvisation in the music of the time was unquestionably crucial (look at

Now, Stewart, you are stretching it.

Dear Wayne,
I can do no better than refer to a message of mine to this list on

Dear All:
I think the key to HIP study and performance is to get past the idea of
playing music of another time written by long-dead composers. The ideal, as
the late Barbara Thornton put it, is to take ownership of the music, to
make it ours. Thus, when I get up to play, I'm playing "my" Fran

I'm reminded of Charlie Parker's quip that where ever he went he heard
people practicing his mistakes. Although it was said of Charlie Parker that,
on returning from his gig in the Ozark Mountains with Lawrence Keyes, he
could play every one of Lester Young's recorded solos. In jazz
Drift is another word for current, when navigating. And the drift is
calculated with reference to the "tempus" and the course. As a course is a
pair (or more) of strings, and is also a direction, then we can look to the
directions of the HIP advocates as to the use of the courses. Approach is
