A Correspondence of Renaissance Musicians - Hardcover
This book is a collection of letters between Bolognese music theorist Giovanni Spataro (c. 1459-1541) and his main correspondents, Giovanni del Lago and Pietro Acron. The 110 letters, which survive in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana and the Bibliotheque Naionale, offer a vivid insight into the intellectual world of a group of sixteenth-century music theorists and performing musicians living in Italy.
