Mensuration and Proportion Signs

By Busse Berger, Anna Maria

0 - Default Title
Description
In the fourteenth century composers and theorists invented mensuration and proportion signs that allowed them increased flexibility and precision in notating a wide range of rhythmic and metric relationships. The origin and interpretation of these signs is one of the least understood and mostcomplex issues in music history. This study represents the first attempt to see the origin of musical mensuration and proportion signs in the context of other measuring systems of the fourteenth century. Berger analyzes the exact meaning of every mensuration and proportion sign in music and theoryfrom the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, and offers revisions of many currently-held views concerning the significance and development of early time signatures.
