Thanks for taking the trouble, Rob. I'm sure you're right that
professional guitarists of the time could do all sorts of amazing things
with this music.
I hope you'll be putting up some theorbo recordings soon enough.

Well, I've had a look, guitar in hand, and these are my thoughts.
I wonder if you've added at least one bar towards the end. I'm sure there
is definitely something dodgy about line 8, penultimate bar to final bar
on that line (bars 10-11 in Monica's transcription). I think there is a
bar - or more - missing and you have unconsciously compensated for it.
You
Hmm. Maybe I'll try - I've never looked at this repertoire before (hence the
misreading of the alfabeto), but I get the impression that it is impossible
to give a definitive interpretation, but I suppose that could be said about
any music, but I'm sure you know what I mean. If I get time I'll try.

I actually wouldn't agree with that! It's a single note played as an up
stroke with the first finger.
This also applies in bars 4, 6, 7 & 9.

Thank you Monica - this is why I was wondering why I hadn't got B's '5th' book!
(some new find I presumed.). Of course I've got F's and will now rejoin
the rest of the world..
Hmm this also adds a new complication: I've got rather less admiration for F
than for B.

It's Foscarini - not BArtolotti!

Absolutely Rob - the build up is, I think, precisely what B had in mind and is
more rythmical and passionate than just plucking.
Thanks

Re yr queries:
1. Yes, I do think that all the 'strum' marks should be taken seriously;
this is my general starting point. I have not (yet!) found anything in B which
cannot be strummed. Incidentally I take it as read that we're not always
speaking about vigourous strummi
