Product Description

Synopsis
Luis Milton (fl. 1536ETH1561) was a lutenist, singer, composer, and poet. His collection of lute tablatures, "El Maestro", published in 1536, is the first book of instrumental music known to have been printed in Spain. Luis G sser discusses Milton's attention to modality, his use of meter, and the ornamentation in his songs and fantas'as, for which Milton provided both written-out figures and verbal instructions. Milton's novel "El Cortesano" (1561) describes performances at the Valencian court. With inferences drawn from both books, G sser provides for present-day musicians-as Milton did for his contemporaries-a text on 16th-century performance practice.
