Very few of the books printed in Italy in 1501 were “about” music\, but almost all of them mention music in passing \, and sometimes at length\, whilst discussing something else. These kinds of casual\, fragmentary comments on music were surely read by many more p eople than specialist music theory\, the audience for which was probably v ery small. To recover these comments and characterise the contradictory an d incoherent field of everyday musical knowledge they comprise\, our proje ct team are reading every book printed in Italy in 1501 cover-to-cover\, e xcerpting every passage mentioning music\, sound or hearing. With our work now roughly 60% complete\, the big picture is beginning to emerge\, and i n this presentation I will attempt (for the first time!) to summarise what we’ve found.\n\n\n \n DTSTART:20221114T213000Z DTEND:20221114T223000Z LOCATION:A-510\, Elizabeth Wirth Music Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1E3\, 527 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Tim Shephard: Sounding the Bookshelf 1501: Music in a Year of Itali an Printed Books URL:/music/channels/event/tim-shephard-sounding-booksh elf-1501-music-year-italian-printed-books-343055 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
