Dear flat-back lutenists,
is there any repertoire/composer of baroque guitar that/who without any
modern disagreement definitely used the "double re-entrant" tuning - the
5th and 4th having only in the upper octaves? De Visee perhaps?
An interesting question. I'd like to see a list too. And a more
contested list of what may well be music for this tuning, but not
actually specified.
I think these are definitely for the fully re-entrant tuning:
Valdambrini
Carré
some (?) Sanz
and?....
Stuart
To a theorbist with two top strings lowered an octave that setting sounds
really interesting - the opposite way of putting the fingerboard strings
sound a lot in the same octave! In a therbo in a from A to b, in b-guitar
in e from g to e'.
In this interesting light just considering of getting a b-guitar... :)
