lovely playing, isn't that unusual to see the left leg crossed over like that, unorthodox?

[kidneykutter]

Not that uncommon, especially when people play without a strap.

@kidneykutter whenever i do that my lag gets numb in less than 2 minutes and my knee starts to ache...

[kidneykutter]

@JaJDoo Me too, that's why I use a strap instead

[LutenistDeMari]

taking liberties and playing expressively IS the application of 'authentic performance practice'. Many documents from the period indicate one should play from the heart, not like a trained bird. (CPE Bach)

After hearing his great Weiss concerto recording, I was interested to hear how he tackles the solo works. Please post more if available.

@kidneykutter i use a "tail" instead ( one sided, i sit on it ) and sit like i use to when i played guitar. i just cant play an instrument without lifting my lag anymore....

however, i pass it under my thigh instead of over it - its anchors the lute better this way.

personally i like his songs in animaniacs better, but this is alright

[MrBurrtom]
