Unknown Letter of Paul Siefert and his Activities until 1611
The article presents a hitherto unknown letter of Paul Siefert, written in Amsterdam in December 1608. Based on its contents and other source documentation, a timeline of Siefert’s activities up to 1611 has been detailed, including the events surrounding the competition for the post of organist of St. Mary’s Church in Gdańsk. The study concludes with hypotheses concerning the composer’s education before 1607.
