Info for Esaias Reusner der Jüngere: Delitiae testudinis, Vol. 1

„Die Freuden der Laute“ sind das erste Buch aus einer Serie von Ausgaben mit Musik für Laute und Kammerensemble, die Reusner in seiner kurzen, brillanten Karriere herausgab. Neben seiner künstlerischen Reife, die aus diesen Lautensuiten spricht (er trieb die polyphone Schreibweise auf die Spitze), ist auch die barocke Kalligraphie bewundernswert – das Buch nimmt einen bedeutenden Rang in der Geschichte der Lautenmusik ein. Es erschien in einer Zeit des Aufschwungs, 1667, also deutlich nach den Verheerungen durch den 30jährigen Krieg, die Europa verwüstet hatten. In diesem ersten Buch veröffentlicht Reusner Musik im französischen Stil. Und es ist die erste Veröffentlichung, die mit der elfsaitigen Laute in d-Moll-Stimmung rechnet, die außerhalb Italiens in ganz Europa zur Standardstimmung avancierte.
