Page dimensions: 235 x 154mm. Illustrated. "In the history of early music one of the most pressing yet contentious questions concerns instrumental practice in the performance of medieval song, especially the lyrics of the troubadours and trouveres. [. . .] After examining the place of instruments in the genre-system of medieval song, he discusses stringing and tuning. He describes the instruments and considers pitch, playing-techniques and repertoire. Dr. Page's book throws important new light on his subject and will appeal to listeners and performers, as well as to those interested in the literature and history of the Middle Ages." - from dust-jacket blurb.
