Robert De Visee; Minuet in D - gut strung guitar

This and the next 4 pieces are played from a compilation guitar book so I'm dubious as to the accuracy - if you see any faults, please let me know!

So do you play straight from the sheet of music or do you learn the music from the sheet and then play it? Both are great to know but, if you learn the music from the sheet then play it then I believe it is better than reading straight from the sheet. Although it does take longer to learn and memorize it I believe it is well worth it, even though I would like to read from the sheet without having to translate it and memorize it.

I have a hopeless memory and find it really hard to memorise things. I tend to learn it, but then use the sheet to remind myself as I play. ;)

Hi Jamie,

thanks to your nice Menuet, I made also one by Lully, arranged to theorbo by the famous anonymous. I tried to put it here as a video response. Let's see if I could... ;-)

All the best,

Arto

Thanks!

That was the first video response I've had!

Best wishes,

Jamie

Very beautiful sound and feeling! Welcome to the de Visee world!

Thanks Arto. I certainly am entering the De VIsee world, I'm learning his Suite in Dm on my guitar at the moment :).

Thanks again,

Jamie

its french baroque the quavers are swung but not written like that in modern classical notation

[Blake12000]

I have already played some Weiss but not to a good standard yet. He is my favourite Baroque lute composers and one of my favourite composers for that matter. I do it on my guitar since I haven't found any arrangements for renaissance lute. So the answer is a definite yes, and hopefully quite soon!
