Friedemann und Barbara Hellwig
Joachim Tielke
Kunstvolle Musikinstrumente des Barock
The book is completed, has soon been sold out and is now again available!
And this is how it all started: In 1980 Günther Hellwig published his long-awaited book on Tielke: Joachim Tielke. Ein Hamburger Lauten- und Violenmacher der Barockzeit, Frankfurt a. M. 1980.
Since the appearance fo this publication, Joachim Tielke (1641-1719) has been recognized by organologists and friends of early musical instruments as one of the great masters of this profession. Günther Hellwig's publication has been out of print for many years, a second edition has bee a desideratum. We can now announce its appearance.
The new book clearly supercedes Günther Hellwig's in many ways: it has 456 pages with 512 illustrations, the majority in colour. It contains chapters on Tielke's life and work and an extensive oeuvre catalogue covering all 169 surviving instruments and fragments. There are appendices on Gottfried Tielke, Hinrich Kopp, the Fleischer and Goldt families and their instruments. The table of contents and the introduction will give you an idea of the book's scope (sorry - in German, see below for a translated version).
Our book was presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2011 and subsequently in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.
You may now order it from any bookseller:
Friedemann und Barbara Hellwig: Joachim Tielke. Kunstvolle Musikisntrumente des Barock, Deutscher Kunstverlag Berlin/München 2011, ISBN 978-3-422-07078-3.
Do not be discouraged from purchasing it because it is written in German, there is a two page English summary densely packed with information, there is an German-English-French glossary, and you will find a wealth of comprehensible information besides enjoying the numerous illustrations.
