The other day I found my university thesis that I wrote for my masters degree (like 8 years ago).

It is an essay on how to transcribe French lute music (stil brisé baroque) for alto guitar. I did some rather extensive research for it (using loads of old lute books) It's about 30 pages long covering ornamentation, rhythm notation, tuning, transcription and some history.

It is only available in Swedish, but if there are some interest I might take some time and try to get into english sometime later this year.

Is anyone interested in the Swedish version? In that case I'll clean it up and upload it here in the forums.

Hi Toffe.
I would most certanly be very interested in reading your thesis. I love this period of music,
but have played far too little of it. Would be most grateful...
Og ettersom jeg er Norsk,vil jeg ikke ha noen problemer med å lese din Svensk

I too would be interested, but for me Swedish is worse than chinese... I am waiting the english version French is OK too, of course

Toffe,
If you ever have the time and energy to do a translation, I would be very interested.
James.
