Ottaviano Petrucci
Or Ottaviano dei Petrucci. Quoting wikipedia: Ottaviano Petrucci (born in Fossombrone on 18 June 1466; died on 7 May 1539 in Venice) was an Italian printer. His Harmonice Musices Odhecaton, a collection of chansons printed in 1501, is commonly misidentified as the first book of sheet music printed from movable type. Actually that distinction belongs to the Roman printer Ulrich Han's [de] Missale Romanum of 1476. Nevertheless, Petrucci's later work was extraordinary for the complexity of his white mensural notation and the smallness of his font, and he did in fact print the first book of polyphony using movable type. He also published numerous works by the most highly regarded composers of the Renaissance, including Josquin des Prez and Antoine Brumel. A total of 61 music publications by Petrucci are known. The most prolific period of his life for publishing music was the period between 1501 and 1509, during which he published three volumes of chansons (the Odhecaton being the first), sixteen books of masses, five books of motets, eleven anthologies of frottole and six books of music for lute. The last publication is dated 1520. |
