This international influence was made possible by the
invention of music-printing about 1500. This produced as
great a revolution in the history of music as book-printing
had done in the history of general European culture. A
quarter of a century after Gutenberg’s first attempts,
German and Italian printers produced printed missals. The
decisive step—the printing of the notation of measured
music from type—was taken by Ottaviano dei Petrucci of
Fossombrone . . . at Venice. . . . Venice . . . remained the
principal centre for the printing and publishing of
polyphonic music.
