Examines musicological interest in the music of the 15th and 16th centuries since August Wilhelm Ambros's Geschichte der Musik im Zeitalter der Renaissance bis zu Palestrina (1868). Scholars in Europe and America - including Heinrich Besseler, Gustave Reese, and Edward Lowinsky - have debated whether the period marked a rupture or a progression from the Middle Ages. Although viewpoints on musical periodization remain in question, the Renaissance firmly exists as an entity in today's musicology.
