Recenzje

'Throughout the book, the reader feels in very safe hands. Its contents are highly informative, refreshingly jargon-free, and beautifully produced. Rose's own assured authorial voice,his expert handling of original texts and their translation, his solid methodological principles and lucid writing style render his book nothing less than a model for the kind of historical work it presents. Its wealth of historical materials can serve as a stimulus, moreover, for future scholarly endeavours pursuing the numerous promising avenues of enquiry opened up here.' Bettina Varwig, Revue de musicologie
