It is nothing less than a primer in a completely new way of thinking about scores, verbal descriptions of musical performances, and performances both live and recorded.” * Suzanne Cusick, New York University *\u003cbr\u003e“Varwig’s brilliant book brings to life—almost literally—the wonderfully vivid writing of early modern theorists on the entanglement of music with the ‘ensouled bodies’ of its listeners and makers. The result is a gripping account of an astonishing body of historical writing that has prescient connections with twenty-first-century thinking about music and the embodied mind, and which urges its readers to experience the music of that period in richly transformed ways. This is a book that will have wide appeal from historical musicology to the psychology and neuroscience of music and will inform and influence those fields for many years to come.” * Eric F. Clarke, University of Oxford *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eMusic in the Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e helps us understand how the music of the so-called Baroque is as much of the body as of the mind. With a detailed consideration of how contemporary performers and listeners might have felt during a performance, we gain insights that have totally eluded most commentators on the era. This study will become mandatory reading for any scholars interested in the different stages of the relationship between music and the emerging modern world. It will help us to sense new ways in which this music can resonate with our embodied disposition in live experience today.” * John Butt, University of Glasgow *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e List of Musical Examples\u003cbr\u003e A Note on Musical Examples and Translations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Preamble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Embodiment\u003cbr\u003e 1.
