Snip David Tayler is mistaken when he claims that I "evened up" uneven passages in Francesco's music. No serious editor of early music would ever do something like that. Snip Actually, I never said anything of the sort, nor would I. All of the material in your edition is in the critical commenta

I defer to Arthur in all things Francesco, however as an issue of performance practice, not musicology, I still hold that the beginning of a piece may be in free time, and that there is no urtext or composer's intent except in very rare cases (Byrd). As we can see from John and Robert Dowland, a

There are several issues here. The first is that the opening note may be said to have an implied coronoa, or fermata in the historical sense, creating a time free zone (TFZ) which may be played longer or shorter, or with graces appropriate to beginning a piece. The mss sources support this. In t

Fine, Peter, but 34 is another story altogether, isn't it ? "La Compagna", perfect, but not "La Sosia" ;-). The contrapuntal oprtions in the introductory motive are slightly, but significantly different. It seems impossible to me to adopt the same rhythmical symetry (semibreve, quarter, quarter)

We should look also at the next piece in the Siena manuscript, La Compagna, which opens with the same theme and rhythm, suggesting that number 33 was written as intended, and doesn't need to be changed. That's what I play.. :) P On 24 November 2010 12:56, Jean-Marie Poirier

True, Peter. The Siena doesn't use the same rhythm in the answering statement. Arthur Ness gives the exact Siena version in tab and his transcription suggests a change to make both opening statements rhythmically identical. Moreover there is a version of this very Ricercar in an English manuscri

Looking at this piece in the Siena manuscript, the rhythm for the opening statement is not the same as in the answering statements. So there's certainly room for doubt. I think the opening statement may have been 'corrected' in the Ness edition (I don't have it here to check). How

Dear Susanne, I don't understand your point here. The answer to your question is in the contrantunpal writing itself : Francesco imitates his initial motive note for note (2nd and 3rd bars) and he doesn't use an "upbeat" to do that, which certainly means that he intended it exactly like it is,
