"Moll has performed the herculean service of making these [compositional] issues accessible, . . . [and he] deserves our gratitude for a major achievement. This is essential reading and reference material for anyone working on fifteenth-century music. Indeed, subscription to a Garland series that has started so auspiciously may confidently be recommended." -- Margaret Bent, Notes
