Provides an up-to-date survey of current knowledge and scholarship on the vihuela and its music. Discusses instruments, sources and editions, and each genre of vihuela music. The traditional notion of the vihuela is that it was an exclusively courtly instrument. Recent research demonstrates its proliferation among the educated Spanish middle classes.
