Reviews

Gearys monograph is well researched and engagingly written, and his painstaking approach to interpretation makes it a model of this kind of scholarship ... it is by far the most useful point of access to this intriguing and significant body of music currently available, and will command the interest of classicists and cultural historians as well as musicologists. James Garratt, Music and Letters
