How do we know what notes a composer intended in a given piece?-how those notes should be played and sung?-the nature of musical life in Bach's Leipzig, Schubert's Vienna?-how music related to literature and other arts and social currents in different times and places?-what attitudes musicians and music lovers had toward the music that they heard and made [including in the bourgeois parlor]?

We know all this from primary sources: musical manuscripts and prints, opera libretti, composers' letters, reviews in newspapers and magazines, archival data, contemporary pedagogical writings, essays on aesthetics, and much else. Some of these categories of sources have, for over a century, served as the bedrock of music history and musicology. Others have begun to be examined only in recent years.

Furthermore, musicologists-including biographers of famous composers-now explore these various kinds of sources in a variety of ways, some of them richly traditional and others exciting and novel.

The seventeen contributors to this volume are all renowned specialists in their respective repertoires: the Renaissance and Baroque, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Verdi, Debussy, and much else. Their essays, all newly written for this book, use a wide array of source materials to probe issues pertaining to a cross section of musical works and musical life from the sixteenth through the twentieth centuries.

Taken together the essays provide models reflecting the pluralistic profile of musicology at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It will prove welcome to anyone fascinated by the problems of reconstructing-reimagining, sometimes-the evanescent musical art of the past and pondering its implications for musical life today and in the future.
