Joachim Tielke

Kunstvolle Musikinstrumente des Barock

Joachim Tielke (1641-1719) has been recognized by organologists and friends of early musical instruments as one of the greatest masters of his profession. The new book is the new standard work on his oeuvre: it has 456 pages with 512 illustrations (icontaining more than 800 phtographs), the majority in colour. It contains chapters on Tielke's life and work and an extensive oeuvre catalogue covering all 169 surviving instruments and fragments. There are appendices on Gottfried Tielke, Hinrich Kopp, the Fleischer and Goldt families and their instruments.
