'This is a valuable publication; it is good to have the content of the two treatises available in such an accessible form, while the interpretative and background material not only illuminates the treatises, but also places their content in a fairly wide historical context, particularly in relation to 16th- and 17th-century musical theory.' The Consort 'Wilson's volume is without doubt a most welcome transcription of two treatises whose importance has yet to be completely realized... Wilson's volume will surely prompt a reconsideration of the place of England, abstract instrumental music, and other genres in our interpretation of the early Baroque.' Music and Letters
