It was written in French tablature and copied by hand by several copyists. Interestingly, it also includes many autographs of Weiss himself.\n\nThe manuscript of Dresden is an important source, since it contains 34 suites spanning from 1706 to Weiss' death. It includes many late sonatas, which reveal his mastery of composition.\n\nSuite or Sonata 36 in D minor First manuscript volume Allemande: in the French style, almost an opening. However, its Italian cantabile full of modulating and dissonant chords creates suspense. Courante: very developed in style imitation, polyphony, and rhythmically rich. Bourrée: typical popular melody. Sarabande: Cantabile, almost adagio. Menuet: elegant gallant in German style. Allegro: direct, very orchestral melody in which a violin and a bass seem to hold a dialogue.\n\nSuite or Sonata 40 in C major Probably handwritten by Weiss himself With the enigmatic dedication P.S.A.M.L.D. from Lobkowitz januaruis, « Pour son Altesse Sérénissime Monsieur le Prince de Lobkowitz » \"For His Serene Highness The Prince of Lobkowitz\" Second volume of the manuscript\n\nEntrée Spiritoso: Very beautiful example of an Ouverture à la Française with a beautiful cantabile and a German form; one of the most beautiful pages of Weiss. Courante: very developed work that can certainly be regarded as very mature. However, it misses an end; the piece stops at the moment of a remarkable modulation at measure 160 and leaves us perplexed and dissatisfied. Lutenists and musicologists have sought the rest in different manuscripts. It looks like one of Weiss' riddles that were intended to challenge the performer. I wrote the last ten measures because I like this suite, and I was unhappy about otherwise not being able to bring it to completion. It was published in the « Luth Dorée » editions. Paysanne: dynamic and virtuoso folk dance. Sarabande: still one of the most beautiful pieces of Weiss, melodically sublime and very inspired. Menuet: always elegant and very virtuoso in constant modulation. Allegro: A very strange and curious piece with a melody in octaves, full of difficulty and almost a technical \"study\" for the right hand. It offers a mixture of Scarlatti and Weiss Italian-era techniques. This Allegro is rich in arpeggios and interesting scales. It pushes the technique and the possibilities of the lute (and challenges the lutenist)!", "release_date" : "2020-04-04", "genres" : ["Classical","Baroque","Instrumental Classical"], "collections" :
