Music Printing and Publishing in Modern Italy 

New Approaches

 International Workshop

Venice, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, 13-14 February 2014

Printed music is quantitatively the most important source for the study of European music of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Since a significant part of the music editions printed before 1800 were produced in Italy, with a peak between the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, there is a clear need to investigate this production from many points of view: production contexts, repertoire selection processes, marketing strategies, processes and canals of international dissemination and reception, transmission history of surviving editions, historiographical perspectives on these sources as tools for the study of musical phenomena of the past.
