From Renaissance to Baroque - Jonathan Wainwright - Bog

Historians of instruments and instrumental music have long recognized that there was a period of profound change in the seventeenth century, when the consorts or families of instruments developed during the Renaissance were replaced by the new models of the Baroque period. This book will appeal to performers, instrument makers and academics with an interest in achieving a better understanding of this process of change from the 'Renaissance' to the 'Baroque'.
