For the 10-course lute, I would highly recommend Vallet. The solos are not too hard, and there are enough of them that one could select the easier ones to begin with. It's very nice use of all 10 courses, especially the tasteful and refined use of the basses. One could also play the soprano pa

Alan, I found Ronn McFarlane's printed compaion to his first CD of Scottish lute music ("The Scottish Lute") very helpful when I first got my ten-course. Some of the pieces are for ten-course, most are easy, and (at least in America) people _love_ anything that sounds the least bit Celtic.
