Hans Neusidler - Preambel 1 for lute

One long improvisatory phrase.......?

It came across...it could be meandering mood music for a BBC period piece.

One continuously evolving phrase...It's possible to hear this as a precursor to the unmeasured preludes that were a staple of French lute and harpsichord suites from the early 17th century onward. Can a line be drawn? A musicologist might grumble, "Where's your evidence?" and surely I have none. His problem, not mine, say I. Thanks for playing this for us, Rupert, it *is* interesting--also engaging, a sort of lyrical fantasy.
