music-making

January 31, 2021

β€œIn [the 16th century], the notaries of Venice recorded the presence of an instrument even in modest households, while for the aristocracy and the merchant class, 90 per cent of inventories included harpsichords, cithers, lyres, harps and other instruments. The streets and small squares of Venice must have resounded to their playing.”

β€” Raffaella Sarti, Europe at Home
