Abstract
Between the beginning of the reformation and the 1560s the west-Bohemian town Cheb (Eger) became an important site of musical production. The paper introduces four music inventories written by cantors from Cheb's St.
Nicolas Church during the personnel changes of the 1630s. These inventories retrospectively show the transformation of the music-esthetical preferences at the turn of the seventeenth century as well as the probable content of the performed repertoire.
This paper also compares this inventory with more famous inventories from the Latin schools in nearby Horní Slavkov (Schlaggenwald) and Loket (Elbogen), and outlines some factors that probably shaped its contents.
