Polk, Keith. German instrumental music of the late Middle Ages: players, patrons, and performance practice. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992. [See esp. discussion of guilds as "an irrelevant nuisance for a broad segment of the leading professional instrumentalists" (p. 123), and discussion of master/apprentice training (125). Includes reference to 1492 contract in Ghent to teach art of playing "shawms, flutes and other instruments" (125); a 1474 document of an amateur harpist which records that he had learned "20 dances," and a citation of a German lute player who had studied with Pietrobono in 1455 and learned "two things of advantage" (p. 125). ] |
