Hello Anthony et al, I am very interested in this topic that is presently being discussed, but it reminds me a lot of the so-called =8Ccanals' on Mars that everyone insisted they saw, even though there was nothing there. Looking at the pictures here coldly and without any prejudice one way or

Who can tell ? :-) However it does make it clear that borrowing from yourself, and copying/pasting (with or without transpositions) it seems were a part and parcel of the great composers- all points regarding the =8Carchitectural formality' of the suite form aside... Theo From: H L Pakker

Dear Martin and All, I must plead guilty to contributing to the confusion by starting the thread on the main Lute List, but I felt that the issues of playing near the bridge/thumb out/gut stringing were of revelance to both lists and there was a danger that it might lurk in the Baroque List

Oups, sorry Rob, it just came back to my mind, when Theo, said you couldn't trust the marks on a lute in a museum. I have sort of been trained to store apparently completely unrelated data in my mind for future association, at a later date. Theo's message just suddenly triggered this

Dear Taco, I agree. Doing what you suggest might also help to rid us of the habit so many s**bscribers have, of replying to the lute list as well as sending a c.c. to an individual, as if that individual was somehow not a s**bscriber. It is irritating and unnecessary to receive the same
