| Abstract |
Originally published in 1966, the Reeseschrift remains one of the most significant collections of musicological writings ever assembled. Its fifty-six essays, written by some of the greatest scholars of our time, range chronologically from antiquity to the 17th century and geographically from Byzantium to the British Isles. They deal with questions of history, style, form, texture, notation, and performance practice. |
