More about the book

This is the first English-language edition of Leopold's acclaimed 1982 study of Claudio Monteverdi. Avoiding a standard life-and-works approach, Leopold examines Monteverdi's music as a whole, focusing on the technical details of his style as they appear throughout his oeuvre and illustratingthem with numerous musical examples. This approach not only offers fascinating insights into the connections, links, and interrelationships in Monteverdi's works (many of which are not apparent in a discussion by genre), but it also illustrates how a major musical figure approached composition at atime when musicians had rejected polyphony and turned to a monodic style.
