Dear Roman, Perhaps we should consider what John Dowland thought about people re-writing his music. He made his view very clear in the introduction to his _First Booke of Songs_ (London, 1597). Hoppy Smith routinely rewrites what he plays, A LOT MORE that a single note that Edin changed.

Great perfirmance indeed! Very evocative and affektiert. Don't know if the archlute (thankfully double coursed) is something Dowland would have played on, but it sounded great. Short nails on RH. Combination of TI - TO. Lots of changes of RH position and holding of the lute, which makes the

I find it noisy and gimmicky; a lot of look-at-me that distracts from the flow of a masterpiece. But that's a matter of taste, I suppose, as is tolerance for the slop whenever he plays sixteenth notes. But if he doesn't like the way Dowland ended the piece, he should play another piece
