Print Culture and Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice
This book is a spin-off of the author's earlier award-winning Music Printing in Renaissance Venice: The Scotto Press (1539-1572) and is about the commerce of music and its connection to the printing and publishing industry in mid-sixteenth century Venice. While it incorporates much of the material presented in the former study, it presents a broad portrayal of the Venetian music book trade and explores business strategies that music printeres followed in
the marketing of musical repertories.
Music printers occupied a unique niche in the 16th century Venitian printing world because their product appealed to and was readable only by those with sophisticated taste. Bernstein bridges the gap between music and other disciplines, showing that the role of a music printer can be discussed as part of larger cultural and economic themes.
