@meesterdavidgitaar Ciacoña – Silvius Leopold Weiss Preparing for my little solo concert on May 7 is the perfect excuse to indulge in some gorgeous music by Weiss on lute. Here’s the beginning of his famous Ciacoña. yes, i played it before on this platform, and I probably will do so again. It’s just so beautiful! I’m playing an archlute here: 14 courses 7 courses on the fingerboard 7 courses on the extended pegbox Course 1 is single Courses 2 to 5 are doubles in unison Courses 6 and 7 are doubled in octaves Tuning top to bottom: g’ d’d’ aa ff cc gG fF E E-flat D C B-flat A G (There are different options for tuning the long bass strings.) This archlute is made by @barberandharrislutes #lute #archlute #baroquemusic #classicalmusic #weissciacona #silviusleopoldweiss ♬ original sound – David van Ooijen
