[LUTE] Standard tablature

2006-01-26 Thread dc
Is there a modern "standard" for tablature, which lutenists would expect in a modern practical edition, or is it preferable to for such an edition to reproduce the type of notation found in the source? Can one easily get used to reversing the order of the strings, in particular? Thanks, Dennis

I'm not sure what you mean by Standard. The most common and most often seen is French Tab. Consists of six line representing the six main courses on the Lute, the top line representing the first course and so on. The notation is designatied by letters designating what strings are to be stoped, "

He was a opera composer, active in Vienna, originally from Naples I believe, who is not known for any lute music aside from the g-minor suite in question. As I recall it has an unusually low tessitura, so it might be an arrangement. RT > >> >>> We do. For starters his real name was Porcile.. >

For most modern editions folks seem to want French tab. Fine, but vihuela music always looks strange in it. When Dick put out his Valderabano book last year he made a few copies in Italian. It seems 'more at home' to my eye. The chances are slim but I wouldn't mind a modern Borono or S

Unlurking to say: Actually, many folk harpers don't play by ear. Most of us amateur folk harpers, being lazy dogs, just buy books of predigested harp music converted into modern musical notation. We leave the playing (and arranging) from original sources to the likes of Grainne Yeats or
