Dear lutenists:
I'm posting these two images containing the tuning used by Narciso Yepes to
play Bach lute works.

I suspect his other 4-5 Haydn sonata (sightread) would have been just as
mediocre as sightread music usually is.
Hi all,
I strongly agree with Roman of his comment below!

Hi all,
In an orchestra the players are acting as a sequencer and their job is to
reproduce the written music accurately. The musical value comes from the
conductor - who usually has the score in front of him, but, if he's any
good, he doesn't actually need it. That's why experiments with

Don't tell that to the principal wind players.

On memorization: The Chinese pianist Liu Chi Kung was imprisoned by the
Maoists for 7 years after the cultural revolution. During his imprisonment
he had no access to a piano but, since the guards held him is some regard,
was granted a cell with a window. After his release he, like so many of

Good point, but the job of an orchestral player is not to be an

Question regarding the lute suites in general. Why
is it that everyone refers to all of these works as
suites? The g minor and e minor suites as just
that. BWV 1006a, however, is an arrangement of the
solo violin PARTITA in E major (We don't call it a
Violin Suite do we?) and the c minor work

But still smooth, compared to Podolsky.
Probably true, though if my memory of Podolsky's recordings serves,
I wouldn't even tell that to my sister (She's been principle second violin
in a couple of pro orchestras), lol. But the slavish adherence to the
written note was a significant reason for me for leaving classical (in the
broad sense) music.

But, If a guitarist wants to play Bach or Weiss, he or she shouldn't be
discouraged. The music ultimately transcends the instrument. It may sound
more appropriate on the lute but it's the music that's most important. The
six string guitar is certainly limited, but one can get instruments with

I think they should be, by any means possible.
Moreover shey should sign an affidavit by which they'd promise not to come
within a 100 yard radius of any pre-1800's music. They can do Carculli,

I wonder if you have seriously experimented with playing this this
way? If you can stand big downloads, I will happily turn an old
recording of me playing F Da Milano (Ness 33) with just such a
technique, into an MP3, and send it to you (or anyone who is
interested)! If you know the

I'm not sure that the iconographic evidence can be dismissed so
lightly. The lute was perhaps the principle solo instrument of this
period, and both painters and patrons (and even many artists models!)
would have known what good lute technique looked like. And some
models were
