This ciaccona is the last movement of a sonata in g minor in the London Manuscript by SL Weiss. It seems fairly clear that this sonata is supposed to be a duet, with the second part missing. Nevertheless, the ciacona is so beautiful it has been performed and recorded as a stand alone solo several times. I am currently working on it to play with Michel Cardin's reconstruction of a second part for flute. Please excuse the page turn edit mid way through.
Thank you KidneyKutter for introducing me to the musick of Weiss and Robert Barto!

Thank you so much. It is such a treat to hear my by far favorite piece of lute music so wel played by a maestro. More than excellent and I know just a little bit how difficult this piece is to play. Bravo!

I'm trying to tackle this on the guitar but it's so hard!
This interpretation is just superb to what has now become one of my very favourite lute pieces. The piece and your interpretation are just beyond my description....... I love it so much - my eyes lit up when I saw that you had done a recording of it!
Thanks so much, you've really made my day,
Jamie

What a honor and a pleasure it is to watch your videos!. I'm a classical guitarist and I decided to learn the Renaissance Lute. I'm learning Greensleeves from the William Ballet Book. Can you post anytime this tune, specially with Cutting's Variations? Thank you.
