[LUTE] Re: lute is hard

I have to throw in my two cents here, which is what my opinion as an amateur musician will be worth (piano first, lute second, though historically I've received more cash from lute performance (a few $) than piano performance (0$)). No question, it's easier to whack out a melody and impress

At least there is one area where lute has an advantage over the guitar, lack of copywrite song protection: To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[LUTE] Re: lute is hard

oi. If the legal-types are right, then this goes both ways. After all, if a copyright violation occurs when just a few chords are exhibited in a lesson in the same order and time sequence as a copyright song, can't an argument be made for prior art in every short sequence (or long sequence) of cho

Daniel, Also interesting was the link below this story to another one: "Perseverance Pays Off for 10-year-old Guitarist." (The title gave me a chuckle, since it shows the media's complete incomprehension of what classical musicians must do. Just how much real perseverance can this kid possi

You make it sound as though the piano is easy. I'll tell you what's easy: for guitarists/lutenists to proclaim that their instrument is soo much harder to learn than the piano! Please, you're breaking my heart :-( :-( Do you think piano students don't spend years learning to play?
