Die italienische Sonata für mehrere instrumente im 17. Jahrhundert ..

This is a PhD dissertation for Artur Schlossberg's Ph.D. in musicology from Heidelberg University. The title translates as "The Italian sonata for several instruments in the 17th century." Schlossberg's mentor and teacher at Heidelberg was Heinrich Besseler (d. 1969). The dissertation has not been translated into English. Schlossberg (1909-2002) left Germany in 1933, moved to Paris and changed his name to Jean Berger (French pronunciation), came to the United States in 1940, and became a U.S. citizen in 1943. He was best known in the U.S. as a composer, mostly of choral and solo vocal music. He ended his professional musicological activities in 1969 after resigning his academic career and becoming an independent composer, clinician, conductor, and music publisher (John Sheppard Music Press).
