The Haslemere Manuscript This manuscript contains tablatures that a lutenist from Dresden or Prague assembled in the second half of the 18th century, most likely to be used for his own playing or teaching. His instrument of reference was a 12-course D-minor-tuned lute. Some pieces require a 13th course, but they are few in number, and the indication of a 13th course may have been added later. This copyist often indicated a composer's name alongside the titles; however, many pieces, whose origin must have been known to him, are anonymous. The tablatures are generally grouped by key, in order to be played consecutively without having to retune the bass courses. Only rarely are these groups of pieces explicitly referred to as Suites or Sonatas. The original manuscript is now kept at the Carl Dolmetsch Library, in Haslemere, England; its reference is GB-HAdolmetsch ms II.B.2. Its history is unclear; it may have belonged to the Fétis collection, since we know that Fétis sold or traded several of the many works he had purchased1. In the early 20th century, the manuscript was acquired by Eugène Arnold Dolmetsch (1858-1940). Born French into a family of organ, piano and harmonium makers, Arnold Dolmetsch went to London to study early music and its instruments. He earned a baccalaureate in music in 1889, and settled in London. After teaching a short while, he began building keyboard instruments, and opened a lutherie workshop in Haslemere in Surrey, where he built copies of almost every sort of instrument played from the 15th to the 18th century. Placide Marie Pichler (1725-1796) Placide Marie Pichler was born in 1725 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Bavaria. After studying science and music, he entered the Order of Saint Benedict in Thierhaupten in 1741. He was ordained a priest in 1744 and sent to the Scheuern convent, where he was distinguished as one of the best organists of his time. He was probably an excellent lutenist as well, but did not perform in public. He spent several years in Vienna, and travelled to Italy. At the age of 70, he retired to Saint George's Convent in Venice, where he died in 1796. None of the Benedictine Priest Placide Marie Pichler's music was printed in his lifetime, but, toward 1760, manuscript copies of several of his compositions for small ensembles circulated in Germany. These included six trios for violin, viol and bass, six for luth, violin and cello, and six others for flute, violin and bass. His music for solo lute, clearly in the galant style, can be mainly found in several manuscripts written by contemporary lutenists.
