- Pieces by Nicolas Bouvier in "Tabulature de luth de differents
autheurs sur les accords nouveaux" by Pierre Ballard in 1638.
In year 1638 pieces in the "baroque d-minor tuning" were first time
printed - as far as we know now. Two Pierres were involved: P. Ballard
and P. Gaultier. In their books of "accords nouveaux" only
minority of pieces are in this tuning, which soon became the "standard
tuning": f'-d'-a-f-d-A-G-F-E-D-C. (In these two books they use
only 10 courses, so no low C.)
- Prelude.
This unmeasured Prelude is in pages 40-41. Unmeasured preludes do not
have barlines - as the term says. Often there are neither many/any note value
indications. So there is lots of improvisation in this type of pieces!
Here is the
original tabulature.
