A masterful exploration of how late-medieval music notation works and why it matters. Bridging periods too often kept apart and illuminating repertoire both famous and little-known, Zazulia takes us inside a musical world in which writing could carry as much aesthetic weight as sound. Don't miss this terrific book.
