Sure! And as I said, audiences love it, for whatever that's worth.

Hi,
I am looking for a facsimile of the Bottegari lute book I found the following
on the internet.
BOTTEGARI, C. Il libro di canto e liuto (1898) Forni 220 SEK. RL
Is this a modern edition (from 1898) ?

Dear Eugene,
The etymology of vihuela, according to Joan Corominas,
author of the most reliable etymological dictionary of
Spanish, runs more or less along these lines (I am
quoting from memory):
It comes, in the first instance from the Latin "fides"
(string) which later underwent various transfo
Dar Bill,
I suspect that Solis and Bracamonte were duped as
well; acording to Dr. Prem the "original" document is
found at a private archive (Archivo Condumex) at
Mexico.
Best wishes,

Thank you fr ths Donatella.
The matter of chamber organ use merely follows contemporary chamber music
practice at the time: they were much more common in the 17thC than nowadays.
It's not a matter of volume but rather one of focus that is difficult to
achieve with a large church organ
Indeed, although "vihuela" is a rather antiquated equivalent to "viola"; no
modern orchestras refer to their bowed altos as "vihuela." I don't know
that there are substantial gaps in the application of the term "vihuela" or
its equivalents to various things. Regarding plucked things, it seems
Well, about the organ I'm not sure he meant a chamber one. I played theorbo
with a real church organ, Italian of course, of about XVIII Century, and the
match was very good. My theorbo is not excessively loud but it could be
heard. The organist had studied continuo with Christensen.

Dear Gary,
Yes, the word "vihuela" is equivalent to "viola", but
it would not serve for any string instrument: a lute
is a "laúd", a cittern is a "citara" or "citra", a
theorbo is a "tiorba", etc., etc.

Dear Arto,
I've performed some of these on a few occassions: they go down reasonably
well - if only for the unexpected instrumentation. Your choice of keyboard
continuo player is important - they should know the style of this period in
Italy and not, for example, accompany you with
Am I mistaken in thinking that the word "vihuela" is equivalent in Spanish
to the word "viola" in Italian and was used to refer to any stringed
instrument, plucked or bowed ("vihuela de mano" and "vihuela de arco")?
