Sorry for the spelling mistake; I meant of course, the "Chambure" vihuela

Hi Kenneth:

I wanted to thank you for allowing your dissertation on Fernando Sor to be available. I have referred to parts of it a few times and now I am reading the whole work through. I was immediately impressed by your initial statement:

“I attempt to show this was not just the work of Fernando Sor as an isolated genius, rather that it was indicative of a Spanish school of guitar playing, with an illustrious history, that could be traced to the polyphonic music of sixteenth century vihuelistas. Sor was therefore an important contributor to an ancient and rigorous Spanish tradition of playing and composing for the guitar.”

 I could not agree more:)

Not a problem Ken; I only get to the site every few weeks myself.
