The object of this book is to illustrate the villas along the Brenta River as they appeared in the 18th century; and as they may be admired today from the river barge (Burchiello) going from Padova to Venice and vice-versa during the months (April-October) in which Mother Nature completes the suggestive architectural beauty of so many buildings in this tract of Venetian earth.

Excellent book on Early Music by Richard TaruskinBy SueGraceThis is a fine book as a reference for the teaching of early music. The author challenges a purely chronological approach to music history and discusses international developments in detail. Fine for undergraduate or graduate students of early music; as well as other interested persons looking for a good read.
