Tordion by Pierre Attaingnant
Tordion by Pierre Attaingnant (1494-1552)
Pierre Attaingnant was a French music printer, active in Paris. Attaingnant is considered to be first large-scale publisher of single-impression movable type for music-printing, thus making it possible to print faster and cheaper than predecessors such as Ottaviano Petrucci. Attaingnant is often falsely attributed with being the first to develop this technique; however, sufficient evidence exists to suggest that John Rastell, an English printer in London, was the first to use single-impression printing in 1520. He published over 1500 chansons by many different composers.
