Grove Music Online: Praetorius, Michael, the Terpsichore entry, Grove Music Online contributors, Oxford University Press, 2001, is the standard specialist musicological reference covering Michael Praetorius's 1612 Terpsichore, a five partbook anthology of over three hundred instrumental dances including bourrees, courantes, ballets, voltes and passamezzos, its French repertoire sources via Antoine Emeraud and Francisque Caroubel, and its twentieth century early music revival. Its strength is that it is a specialist reference from a major academic music publisher matching the fact's own narrow subject. Its limit is that an encyclopedia entry's brevity means a contested claim about one specific dance's manuscript source should be checked against dedicated Praetorius scholarship.

Reliability Tier1
Tier one: the standard specialist musicological reference from a major academic music publisher, matching the fact's own narrow subject of Praetorius's Terpsichore. Its limit is that an encyclopedia entry's brevity means a contested claim about one specific dance's manuscript source should be checked against dedicated Praetorius scholarship. NotesThe standard specialist musicological reference (Oxford University Press), covering Michael Praetorius's 1612 Terpsichore, a five-partbook anthology of over 300 instrumental dances (bourrees, courantes, ballets, voltes, passamezzos), its French-repertoire sources via Antoine Emeraud and Francisque Caroubel, and its twentieth-century early-music revival. Specialist reference matching the fact's own narrow subject, not general-encyclopedia depth.
