"These short pieces are for the enjoyment of students with modest technical
accomplishment. They are intended to emphasise the musicality of the instrument
and to illutrate its many moods. [2. Lute Song] This has a Renaissance feeling
and should be played with brightness and precision." - Ruth Nunn (1978)
