呵呵,找到我的帖子了。 第六篇: Right, Let's get started. Today, we are going to talk about the beginnings of the music printing industry. Well, everyone's heard of Goldenburg and his famous 42 line Bible, right? The whole idea was that it was printed for movable type meaning a small number of different symbols lot of the alphabet punctuation marks and so on could be easily combine to print a page of text. And then recombine to print something else when the print one was finished. Before this, if you want the book, it had to be copy out by hand, which was slow and definitely not cheap. Today is taxable, so really bugnent comparison. Another problem was that even at high prices there weren't enough who could read and write and who are willing to sit for 8 or 10 hours a day copying books. Before movable type, people made printing block from wood. This need a lot of skill and was also very time consuming. So was only feasible for short works with high expect sales and of course you couldn't set up new text on a wood block. What wood blocks were good for was it worth strations and continue to be used for this until whywan to the 17 century. Yes. So did the introduction of movable type printing mean that people who wrote out the books they scripts I guess would have gone out of business over night? Well, actually the transition was a lot more gradu oven white. For one thing the early printing presses had a hard time keeping up the demand. Goldenburg's Bible were sold out long before the last copys come off the price. And there was still a market of levoshily elostrator than colored books like the purl books known as books of hours. And of course paper were still very costly so printer would when take the rest of publishing books with expected good sales. The Bible, for instance, hence a lot of books continue to circulate in manual script. So, what about music? Well, Goldenburg's Bible first appeared around 1454. But the first serious music printing for movable type wasn't till around 1500 to 1501. When the topy on the day purtuchi, pulic collection called homanicha, mesicas, otechitang. Let me write those names on the board for you. The word oldtechitang comes from two Greek words. Oday like our old meaning sound. And techingtang meaning a hundred. Though in fact there seem to be bomy 96 pieces in the collection. So I hope by this one disappointed. Ok, so why do you think it took nearly 50 years before Goldenburg's message were apply to music printing. Well, I guess music sular more difficult than words to print? Yes, you're quite right. That's one very important reason. In fact perchuchi, took at privilege, a sort of business license if you like to print music from republic of Venus in 1498. But it took more a couple of years perfect its system and bring out its 1st edition. At first, perchuchi had to use technic called tripple impression. So, he printed the start line first, then the notes, then the words. Later he manage to reduce this to two impressions by printing staff lines and text together. Of course this depend on the been able to aline very acutely in press each time. Still there was no were nearest hard is curving wood blocks surrounding manual script by hand and the result for some of the most beautiful sheet music ever printed. I think you can see that even form your photocopied handout. I think there may be another reason. Was it maybe that there wasn't on that much demand? I guess not everybody can read, I mean, regular books and only a very few of those who could read words could read music as well. Yes, that's true. There was some demand for hamsun songs, but overall, printers want to make a leaving in so concentrate on meterial would wide it's possible appeal. Still was the riner songs than increasing interest in all kinds of learning, people would leisure and education would become more interested in music. Potuchi designed his book to looked as much like an expensive menishkb as possible with elegant and iscial capital and spaces unquardard layout. And he made a through choices repito with a lot pieces that must be well-known in his day. So perchuchi was aiming at people who wanted play or maybe hear familiar music but who wouldn't be able to afford larvish manual script. Yes, I think that's quite good inside. I think too the perchuchi was aiming at social climbers as well as music lovers. I'm not saying his music wasn't use but maybe his publications were a bit like the coffee table books of the day, main for display as well as for use. He price his collections to be with in the means of gentry, merchants even artisans and they certainly sold in large numbers. He was the 1st to see a potential market for printed music. And in the big way he actually help to create that market.
