From the Reviews:
" ... contains a dozen conference-papers, mostly wide-ranging, fresh, and of lasting value [...] These Studies, are a welcome foil [to The Keyboard Music of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck], and together they will be indispensable for all future research."
(Peter Williams in Organ Yearbook)
"Wer sich umfassend und kompetent über Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck informieren will und sich dabei nicht auf das Urteil eines Einzelnen verlassen mochte, sei auf die jüngst erschienenen 'Sweelinck Studies' verwiesen ...
Der Herausgeber Pieter Dirksen hat mit seinem Beitrag 'The Sweelinck Paradox' ... den wohl wichtigsten Text zu diesem Band beigesteuert, der unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der 'Fantasia Ut re mi fa sol la' als Modelfall musikwissenschaftliche Themenstellungen kongenial mit aufführungspraktische Fragen kombiniert und konfrontiert."
(Birger Petersen-Mikkelsen in Ars Organi)
