Recenzje

'… this remarkable study … constitutes an undeniably important contribution to the revival of musicological thought on the motet of Ars Antiqua … the reader will be rewarded by the beautiful immersion it offers in the workshop polyphonic writing of the thirteenth century, and the spectacle offered by the richness and virtuosity of its composition processes.' Gaël Saint-Cricq, translated from Revue de musicology
