Grund-richtiger/kurtz/leicht und nothiger Unterricht der musicalischen Kunst/ wie man fuglich und in kurtzer Zeit Choral und Figural singen/ den General-Bass tractiren/ und componiren lernen soll ...
A 1687 German music instruction book by Daniel Speer, printed in Ulm by Georg Wilhelm Kühnen, teaching singing, figured bass and composition to students of music. The pages are printed musical notation: staves with black diamond-headed and square noteheads, clef signs, and section headings like Aria and Fragstück. A designer might take the strict grid of five-line staves and the decorative rhythm of the noteheads as a source for pattern and texture.
