This 'normalization' of the Lute Slur is one of the things, that I think really distinguishes Lute technique, and the Lute Sound, from that of the guitar. Wonderful content.
@@brandonacker Thanks though. In the end its the individual luthier and the player to a great degree of course, but I like to know when a given model is particularly successful, especially as I find my taste gravitating more and more toward the sound of original instruments and away from most of the modern attempts. I was quite pleasantly surprised recently to find out that the lovely and particularly historical-sounding César Arias lute used by William Waters for his excellent Reusner recordings was based on the small Frei.
What a great lesson, Nigel! You are always so clear, informative, and inspiring.
Every instructor, whatever he teaches, should listen to Nigel North, Trevor Pinnock or Kenneth Gilbert and learn from them.
A true maestro! Speaking through the instrument with exquisite subtlety!
I want to hear more from Nigel North.
Normally I see Bach played on a swan neck lute- I would love to have the tab/sheet music for 13 course lute!

True of the baroque lute, not the renaissance
The renaissance lute reserved slurs for ornaments.
TY Nigel. 👍
What a lesson!!! Bravo!
Thanks for those thoughts
What is that big 13 course he plays? Burkholzer? By who?
13 course Baroque lute by Lars Jönsson
@@brandonacker Thanks Brandon. So it is a Burkholzer model?
@@AndSendMe I don't know the model, sorry.
