Musica Getutscht : A Treatise on Musical Instruments (1511) by Sebastian Virdung

Omtale

Musica getutscht (Basel, 1511) is the earliest printed treatise on musical instruments in the West. This early German 'do-it-yourself' manual not only tells us about music-making in that era, it also illumines other aspects of society in the years just before the Reformation.
