First part (of 3) only. Giambattista Martini (1706-1784), Italian composer and music historian. The plans for his Storia della musica was very ambitious, but these didn´t result in more than 3 volumes, all dealing with the music of antiquity. Each chapter is begun and ended with an engraved puzzle canon, an art in which Martini excelled.
