1. What were the effects of the printing press on the Renaissance music?

The "Renaissance music" flourished in the Renaissance era, a period in the European history. Language became more unified at this time and most art and music forms were centered on humanitarian thoughts.

When the printing press was created in 1439, dissemination of music became very convenient. This means that many people of different classes were able to enjoy music. It was a big difference than in the past whereby producing music theory texts were considered time-consuming.

2. How did composers benefit from the invention of the printing press?

The invention of the printing press allowed composers to learn more about music and its nature. Music education was easier because it was supported by the music theory texts. The composers were then easily influenced by music coming from different areas such as Venice and Rome. These places were considered the centers of musical activities. The absorption of these musical influences contributed to the Renaissance music.
