Musica getutscht (Basel, 1511) is the earliest printed treatise on
musical instruments in the West. Written by a priest and chapel
singer named Sebastian Virdung, it provided rudimentary instruction
on playing three instruments: the clavichord, the lute and the
recorder. This early 'do-it-yourself' manual of instruction not
only tells us about music-making in that era, it also illumines
other aspects of society in the years just before the Reformation.
Its author communicates in a popular style, choosing a mixture of
media: a written text in the guise of an informal conversation,
coupled with woodcut illustrations and visual aids. Enthusiasts of
early music and its performance as well as historians of art,
society and the German language will welcome Beth Bullard's
substantial introduction and annotations, which help explain the
text of this important work and its place in intellectual history.
