Book Description
As a scholarly discipline and doctoral-level univ. course, musicology (the academic study of music in its historical and anthropological contexts) is about a century old. This is the first full-scale portrait of one of musicology’s most distinguished practitioners. Nino Pirrotta (1908-98) was educated in Palermo and Florence, but was not able to study music history systematically, so he created his own distinctive vision of the discipline. After appointments at the conservatories of Palermo and Rome, Pirrotta was named head of the music library and Prof. of Music at Harvard (1956-71) and thereafter Prof. of Music History at the Univ. of Rome (1972-78). Cummings analyzes and interprets Pirrotta’s writings and identifies the features that characterize the celebrated humanist. Illus.

Music Printing in Renaissance Venice

ISBN : 9780195102314
Book Description
Venetian music print culture of the mid-sixteenth century is presented here through a study of the Scotto press, one of the foremost dynastic music publishers of the Renaissance. For over a century, the house of Scotto played a pivotal role in the international book trade, publishing in a variety of fields including philosophy, medicine, religion, and music. This book examines the mercantile activities of the firm through both a historical study, which illuminates the wide world of the Venetian music printing industry, and a catalog, which details the music editions brought out by the firm during its most productive period. A valuable reference work, this book not only enhances our understanding of the socioeconomic and cultural history of Renaissance Venice, it also helps to preserve our knowledge of a vast musical repertory.
