It Was Vincenzio
By Milton Kirchman, Reply by Virgil Thomson
In response to Words and Music
(April 13, 1989)
To the Editors:
In the footnote to his article on Words and Music [NYR, April 13], could Virgil Thomson have meant to say that the Greek studies of the sixteenth-century camerata were advanced by Vincenzio Galilei instead of by the astronomer Galileo Galilei, who was Vincenzio's son?
