[Annotated extract from ‘The History of Western Music’ ‘The tonal era and after: 1600 to the present’]

‘The beginning of the 17^th century* was one of the most dramatic turning points in the history of music, even more so than the beginning of the Ars Nova** and almost as revolutionary as the beginning of the 20^th century. The winds of change had been felt several decades earlier, and the establishment of the new style required several decades after the turn of the century, but the year 1600*** saw the performance of several works destined to change the course of music’****
