Phrynis Mitilenæus - Printz, Wolfgang Caspar 1641-1717 (Dresden Mieth Leipzig Zimmermann, 1696)
"Phrynis or satyric composer, who, by means of a satirical story, politely presents all and every mistake of the unlearned, self-grown, clumsy and ignorant composers, and at the same time teaches how to compose and set a musical piece purely, without mistakes and according to the right reason."
