This book is not meant to be a comprehensive account of
Monteverdi's life and works. What it sets out to do is to study
certain aspects of his music and environment which have been
insufficiently stressed in most of the existing books about him and
to offer fresh views about some of his more familiar works. In "The
Man as seen through his Letters," Denis Arnold and Nigel Fortune
provide translations of some forty letters, linked by interpretive
commentary, in which the composer's ideas, methods, and approach to
composition and other musical matters are clearly revealed. Two
chapters on "The Musical Environment" discuss Monteverdi in
relation to his teachers, colleagues, and pupils. Monteverdi as
thinker and musician is discussed in chapters on the
Artusi-Monteverdi controversy, the prima prattica and the seconda
prattica, and the madrigal guerrieri, et amorosi. Two further
chapters treat Monteverdi as operatic composer, dealing with his
first opera and the opera orchestra of his time. The book has a
comprehensive bibliography, including a guide to the available
editions of the music.
