To define Petrucci's output, to discuss his methods, [and] help place his production more clearly in the context of the music and musical dissemination of the time. The author hopes to give us an understanding of the role of printed music in its early years.
-
Bibliography includes all known publications by Ottaviano Petrucci, as well as books and editions falsely attributed to Petrucci. Other text provides an analysis of Petrucci's music, his influence on early printed music, and a great deal of information on early music printing history and processes.
-
The book is divided into three main sections. Part A is an analysis of Petrucci's music as printed, its reading and status, the taste it represents, and the market forces that may have shaped its character as a repertoire and the printing and publishing technique of that time. Part B includes a detailed bibliography of Petrucci's publications in chronological order. Another section of the bibliography lists books and editions falsely attributed to Petrucci. The bibliography is extremely detailed, providing specific information on original copies of Petrucci's music and publications such as page side, watermarks, locations of existing copies, binding, etc. Part C is concordance and documents. An index of libraries holding copies of Petrucci editions is provided at the end, along with an index of editions and a general index.
-
Extremely detailed and organized in the presentation of material and the lists given.
