GUEST,BobL When was music first printed? (25) RE: When was music first printed? 09 Nov 07


Possibly both. Certainly by the 18th century, you used to get village musicians and singers setting down tunes (sometimes just their own parts) in manuscript books. Printed editions were too pricey for everybody to have one apiece, and variations between different books suggest that some at least were passed on by ear.
