"The Baroque Trombone is an invaluable, important and original contribution to scholarship and likely to be a definitive source for the understanding of the trombone in this period of music history . . . [and] it will be a standard reference and source book for musicologists, cultural historians and performers."-Trevor Herbert, author of The Trombone "The Baroque Trombone is an important contribution to scholarship because the evidence presents a succinct and focused account with supporting illustrations that are both didactic and artistic . . . In addition to musicians and historians, readers in art history will find this book of interest with its documentation and precise dating of the trombone and other wind instruments in ensembles and churches in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries."-Albert R. Rice, author of The Baroque Clarinet and Chalumeau
