Vol. 3, although ready for publication in 1679, first appeared in this, the 2d, edition. A fourth part to the work was written, but was destroyed by fire. The author refers to his "Exercitationes music©Œ", 1689, as containing the substance of a fifth part.

In the "prodromus" to vol. 1 of the present edition are included: (1) "Refutation des Satyrischen Componisten ... von ... Matz Tapinsmus ... und Charis Lausimpeltz" written by Printz himself (cf. p. 23 et seq.) and first pub. separately in 1678; (2) a pretended reply by Printz, "Declaration oder weitere Erklarung der Refutation ... von Philomuso Polyandro", 1679: (3) a colloquy by one of Printz's puplis, "Der Aberwitzige Pickelhering Jean Rebhu, in einem kurtzen Gesprach Entworffen von Veridico Grato", being a satirical reply to an attack on Printz, which appeared in a contemporary almanac, containing also "Lebensbeschreibung des abenteuerlichen Jean Rebhu."
