This is a great piece...well played. I have beent trying to find a good arrangement of this piece for six string classical guitar, but there is no Chaconne is A minor suite. Do you have any suggestion as to which suite this piece might be in?
The instrument I play is "Théorbe de pieces" in d, French solo theorbo. And when I use the old French tuning, where a'=392Hz this piece sounds like C minor to ears tuned in modern a'=440Hz.. I suppose Rolf plays a bigger theorbo in a (a'=415) and so his version sounds in modern sense in F# minor?
Yes, this piece is really great - and I don't mean my modest performance... There is something so natural, simple and true in this composition that it reminds me of Mozart and Schubert.

Sorry, Rolf should sound in modern Ab or G# minor.... ;-)
(The different tunings and different a' pitches are complicated...

I second Luthval here. I adore this piece greatly. The diapason use is so good!
Well played by the way - a good interpretation :).

One of the most beautiful pieces by De Visée (in my opinion). Well done Arto !
