Martini, Giambattista. (1706-1784). Storia Della Musica (1757-1781), Modern Facsimile Edition. Graz, Austria: Akademische Druck. 1967. A modern facsimile of the original Bologna editions in red cloth boards. 3 vols in 1. Ex-library with usual stamps, else in clean and crisp condition.
Martini's three published volumes relate wholly to ancient music, and thus represent a mere fragment of the author's original vast plan. At the beginning and end of each chapter occur puzzle-canons, wherein the primary part or parts alone are given, and the reader has to discover the canon that fixes the period and the interval at which the response is to enter. Some of these are exceedingly difficult, but Luigi Cherubini apparently solved the whole of them.
