The following scores come courtesy of Doug Towne, with many thanks to him from me. Lauffensteiner deserves to be better known amongst lute players and their audiences. Can be played on 11 or 13 courses. Unfortunately some the ensemble parts are missing, but the lute parts are made available here for anyone who might want to attempt a reconstruction. Enjoy!
