In the musical theory and aesthetics of the 17th and 18th centuries the so-called musical "Figures" play an important role. In studying these "Figures", it is most important to observe and grasp them in the light of the musical style and philosophy, which constitute the background of them. From this point of view the author has studied the original theoretical works of J. Burmeister, Chr. Bernhard, J. G. Walther, J. Mattheson and J. A. Scheibe, laying special emphasis upon the practice of musical composition, as explained in each of them, and intending to obtain a comprehensive survey of the development of the "theory of musical figures".
