Friedemann und Barbara Hellwig
Joachim Tielke
Kunstvolle Musikinstrumente des Barock
The book is completed!
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/Main 1980
Since the 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 is 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 will be presented at the Frankfurt Book Fair (October 12 to 16). Its format is be 21 by 28 cm. The price will be 78 €. Take a look at the publisher's announcement and order form.
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.
