Synopsis

The original contributions contained in this volume set out to map some of the common ground between music and other forms of print, exploring the ways in which the organization of production and the process of publication of printed music have developed over time. From the production and sale of missals in Renaissance Spain to the complexities of Gustav Mahler's copyrights in late nineteenth-century Vienna, these essays raise issues and demonstrate methods of approach that will be of wider relevance to many areas of book history. How composers and publishers worked out their respective financial interests is just one of the recurring themes that will strike a chord with those who study the business of print.

About this title

Review:

An engaging, enjoyable and enlightening volume. --Fontes Artis Musicae

Recommended for all libraries serving historians of music, print culture, and dissemination. --David Hunter, College and Research Libraries Journal

this handsome volume is an important contribution not only to studies in musical bibliography as such but also to studies in the history of the book, and one can but hope that it will be widely read on both sides of the scholarly divide. --Library & Information History
