A Tempest in a Glass of Water

Dordon J. Kinney´s translations of French Renaissance & Baroque viol treatises.

Gordon J. Kinney (1905 - 1981) was an extraordinarily prolific scholar who contributed a great deal to knowledge about the viola da gamba and its history. He was a versatile linguist, performer, teacher, composer and translator, who contributed many articles and translations to the Journal of the Viola da Gamba Society of America during the 1960s and 1970s. This book is a compilation of translations which were published in the JVdGSA, and which have been republished by generous permission of the Board of the VdGSA. It seemed only fitting for Kinney to have the last word, so one of his articles from which the title of this book has been taken, was added.
