To anyone interested in the sources of lute music. There follows a reply to 
an enquiry about the 'use and need' of my email lists. Any comments on this 
issue would be welcome. 
I am interested in cataloguing [mainly renaissance] lute sources. I believe 
that circulating information by email is an excellent way of exchanging 
information. Many of us lutenists and scholars probably have our own 
'lists', and would be happy to contribute to compiling lists with 
concordances and cognates which are as complete as possible. These 
catalogues can then go towards the several international databases which are 
being prepared. Catalogues could also be useful to any of us preparing 
theses or publications on lute sources or composers. Catalogues of the 
sources held as LSA microfilms could be copied to borrowers of microfilms to 
make using them easier. I have also been collecting pieces by individual 
composers whom I like, and it is natural to want to collect as much of their 
music as possible, from original sources. Does anyone share this sentiment, 
or are you largely happy with the relatively few modern editions available? 
I personally don't like modern editions of selections of pieces, and prefer 
complete sources to see a collection of pieces in context i.e. pieces 
assembled by one contemporary lutenist or publisher. I have bought most 
facsimile editions available, and feel strongly that they are, in fact, 
reasonably priced for what you are getting - a direct copy of an original 
source! If more of us bought them, then more would be produced and the 
prices would come down. 
        By the way, would anyone like a bibliography of the sources I quote 
in the concordances, or are you familiar with most of them?

Here is my catalogue of Santino Garsi Da Parma's lute solos, which has many 
more concordances in it than Dieter Kirsch's edition [Santino Garsi da Parma 
Lautenwerke, Guitarre & Laute 148, Verlag, Koln, 1989]. Please let me have 
additions or corrections if you know any. [K] refers to numbering in Kirsch 
1989.
