The Letters of Claudio Monteverdi, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This, the fullest edition of Monteverdi's letters yet to appear in any language, makes every known letter available in English translation. The 127 letters date from the last forty-two years of Monteverdi's career, giving an unrivalled picture of the life of a busy composer working in Mantua, Venice, and Parma at one of the most exciting and crucial periods in the history of music. Long unavailable, Denis Stevens's classic edition of these letters appears here in a completely revised and reset edition which takes account of much recent Monteverdi scholarship. | The Letters of Claudio Monteverdi, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
