My book dealing with Palestrina's style, in which I investigated specific polyphonic problems, pursued aims exclusively related to the history of style, although its effects also had pedagogical consequences due to the relationship of the subject with theoretical counterbalance problems. The nature of this issue is also due to the fact that, despite the effort of scientific formulation, the book was regarded as a curriculum vitae of some German universities, although perhaps with little success. It is believed, however, that it is possible to conclude that today there is a lack of a counterbalance teaching book which takes into account the latest research of Palestrina's music. And this thought gave me the desire and the power to bring this project to fruition.

From the preface of the book,
