This book describes instrumental music and its context in German
society of the late middle ages - from about 1350 to 1520. Players
at that time improvised, much like jazz musicians of our day, but
because they did not use notated music, only scant remnants of
their activity have survived in written sources, and much has been
left obscure. This book attempts to reconstruct an image of their
music, discussing the instruments, ensembles, and performance
practices of the time. What emerges from this study is a
fundamental reappraisal of late medieval culture. A musical life is
reconstructed which was not only extraordinary in its own time, but
which also laid the foundations of an artistic culture that later
produced such giants as Schutz, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.
