Well - I personally find this impossible to do in practice and it would be interesting to know what other players who are more accomplished than myself think about that.
It does however seem to me to be rather pointless in many situations, particularly 3-part chords, when these can easily be played using separate fingers for each note. Also other sources are more careful and don't put in stroke marks indiscriminately in the kind of situation which I am referring to in Foscarini.

The article looks great and will be extremely helpful. I have a question about some of the strummed chords and the issue of whether or not open strings should be included, especially when resulting in unacceptable dissonances. At the risk of displaying my ignorance, isn't it possible that the chords could have been strummed as written, and the player would mute any unwanted courses with an available left-hand finger? This might explain at least some of Foscarini's idiosyncracies. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob MacKillop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, May 23, 2008 8:12 am Subject: [VIHUELA] Re: Foscarini made simple To: Monica Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Vihuelalist <vihuela@cs.dartmouth.edu> > Thank you La Monica - you are a star... > > Rob > > -- > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html > --
