A question for you all. I don't understand the grouping by key.
I
understand that in a mean temperament there is a matter of key,
although
with equal temperament it shouldn't matter. Since the lute
manuscripts are
written in tabulature
Given the pitch ambiguity of tablature, perhaps it would be more useful to
discuss the grouping of pieces by mode. Thus you consider different
sequences/arrangements of whole and half steps rather than identically
formulated scales based on an ill-defined absolute pitch.
I'm sure
Hello fellow Lute Netters,
I've been working a bit with how the contents of lute manuscripts were
organized in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and I was
wondering if anyone might know of lute manuscripts besides the Siena Lute
Book and Lord Herbert of Cherbury's Lute

Michelangelo Galilei's 1620 book is organized by key, perhaps into suites of
a sort, though they tend to consist of of toccata followed by a bunch of
voltas or correntes.

Michelagnolo Galilei:
Il primo libro d´intavolatura di liuto
Munich 1620
has 12 SONATE for 10-course lute
grouped according to mode.
