	WEISS
		Sylvius Leopold Weiss was the last great star in the story of the lute.
		Though he is little-known today, in his lifetime Weiss was greatly revered by musicians and the aristocracy alike, and was ranked with outstanding contemporaries like Bach, Handel and Scarlatti.

	Sylvius Leopold Weiss
		Weiss was born in Breslau, and was trained by his father from the age of ten.
		Weiss toured widely, performing in London in 1718, in Prague at the coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI in 1723, and in Berlin in 1728, where he greatly impressed Frederick the Great, whose sister Wilhelmine was a lutenist.
		The music is usually less contrapuntal than Bach’s, and as Weiss got older, he moved with the times rather more than his great contemporary: his harmony grew bolder and the interaction of melody and harmony moved towards the emerging sonata ideal of the Classical style.

		"The three pieces transcribed in this volume are taken from suites in the Weiss “London Manuscript.” Though a facsimile of the original lute tablature is not included here, guitarists should find no significant changes from it that are not notated and explained.
		There are no tempo markings in the original tablature, but the position of these pieces in their respective suites as well as similarities to Weiss's other works may help.
		In addition to his studies with Frank Koonce (Arizona) and Julian Gray (Peabody), Dr. Adams has studied in master classes with many of the world's pre-eminent guitarists including Ben Verdery, John Williams, Manuel Barrueco, Scott Tennant and William Kanengiser.
