In one of the lexika of the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century there is a remark, that Johann Kropfgans wrote 32 lute trios, but I cannot say at the moment, in which one it is written. We only have some complete trios in Brusseles and in Berlin. In Brusseles there probably are

Dear Roland, I’m afraid I don’t know about these trios by Johann Kropfgans, but I would very much like to know more about them. I see from a quick search on the internet that Kropfgans wrote chamber music for the lute, violin and cello, including one in C minor, but I see no

I agree with your comments Stewart. I’ve read the complete book and the review (which maybe puts me in the minority of people commenting) and was planning to re-read the book on a long flight later this week to refresh my memory. While the book isn’t without faults, it does present sources and

Another argument, I have not seen here, yet. In unequal temperament all octaves are pure. In 1/6 meantone the octave 2e, 4b is not pure at all. There is a piece by de Rippe where he uses 2e and 5g instead. I have run a regular expression search (the computer gurus will know) on all my tab

Having read David Dolata's book, and reviewed it for the Viola da Gamba Society, I was disappointed to read Annette Otterstedt's unkind review. Dolata produces a lot of evidence to show that unequal temperaments were used in the past for fretted instruments. For example, vihuelists
