Riemann's praise for Musicae compendium is quoted in Hermann Scherchen's The Nature of Music, itself quoted in the essay "Descartes's Compendium on Music" by Bertrand Augst.
"It is among the ablest musical writings of its time," Hugo Riemann wrote of Descartes's Compendium musicae, "and it is a matter of regret that this outstanding musicologist left nothing more comprehensive on the theory of music." Such praise for Descartes's earliest work is rare indeed, for there seems to be general agreement among the students of his work as to the secondary importance of the treatise on music he wrote at the behest of his friend Beeckman, in 1618.
(...) Quoted by Hermann Scherchen, The Nature of Music (Chicago, 1950)
