Tabulaturen Etlicher Lobgesang
Tabulaturen etlicher Lobgesang und Lidlein is the title of a compilation of sacred and secular instrumental pieces published in 1512 by Peter Schöffer, containing organ and lute music composed by Arnold Schlick. The purpose of the volume, as described in the composer's son's letter reprinted in the foreword, was to preserve the aging musician's art for later generations, as although he was held in high esteem by his peers, none of his music had been made public in the years prior. In the foreword, there is also an angered retort at an earlier libellous comment by Sebastian Virdung, as well as a short poem introducing the music itself.[Citation needed]
The Tabulaturen are notable for being the first substantial print of organ music (earlier examples of printed keyboard notation include a few snippets in Virdung's Musica getutscht). In the context of the German Renaissance tradition, the collection stands out for being written in a style markedly different - while not necessarily "less ornamental" - than that of Schlick's contemporaries further to the south.
