Stefan Lundgren published a huge work for (11-course) baroque lute, the "baroque lute companion" which has some 200 pieces in increasing difficulty level for each of the most used keys along with an introduction into baroque lute playing quoting several of the main sources. Very recommendable!

Hmmm, perhaps. I have always viewed that "thumb" sign as more of a carry through stroke, a kind of double (or triple) pluck - not a strum per se. For me, at least, a strum is really more akin to what is done on a baroque guitar, something that uses several strings (at least 3 anyway to make a c

Yes, perhaps you are right here. Although I am not aware of a contemporary reference to the verb "flater" meaning "to strum". (Unless I've missed something!) As far as I know, the verb is synonymous with "pincer", "to pluck". In particular reference to Gallot, is there any music written by hi

Nope. An "agrement" is anything added to pleasure the ear and enhance the sound, such as added grace notes, finger sweeps, "brise", et cetera, whether performed by the left hand or right. Even tone colour is sometimes viewed as "agrement" in some sources. I do however agree that it is odd Gal
