Tomás de Iriarte (1750-1791) was a renowned poet, fable writer and playwright. La Musica is a didactic poem in which its author explains the rarity of his undertaking in the prologue, including two other attempts, of lower caliber, in the field. The first song defines music by summarising it with two essential principles: sound and time. The second deals with expression. The third song deals with the excellence of music based on its uses. The fourth is about theatre music and the fifth exposes music intended for entertainment and music devoted to solitude.
Very beautiful copy.
