Description:

Joachim Burmeister's 17th-century treatise on the making of music is generally acknowledged to be central to the understanding of Baroque music practice. This edition reviews Burmeister's two earlier treatises on musical composition and analyzes "Musical Poetics" as a whole.

Synopsis:

Joachim Burmeister's early seventeenth-century treatise on the making of music is generally acknowledged to be central to the understanding of Baroque musical practice: it was the first to systematically explore the connection between rhetoric and music that became a cornerstone of Baroque musical thought. This much-needed edition by Benito V. Rivera contains a critical transcription of the Latin text and an annotated translation on facing pages.
