Following on from the discussion about Foscarini's notation before Christmas I
wonder what other people on this list would make of a passage in one of
Bartolooti's passacaglias - the one on p.17 of his Libro Primo.
On the bottom stave of the first page (17) there is a passage in thirds all
marked as if they were to be strummed - including the single note in the second
bar.
It is possible to play them with a single finger up and down or possibly even
thumb down and finger up but I don't think this would be the method of choice.
Including any open courses doesn't seem to be an option.
Bartolotti has gone to quite a lot of trouble to include a lot of detailed
information about right-hand fingering although he is a bit inconsistent.
So is he just being inconsistent here - or does he really want some kind of
special effect?
I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
