| Abstract | Written by a leading authority and artist of the historical transverse flute, this book offers invaluable insight into the issues of historically informed performance and the parameters--and limitations--of notation-dependent performance. As this book illustrates, performers of historical music should consider what is written on the page as a mere steppingstone for performance. Only by continual examination and reexamination of the sources to discover original intent can an early music practitioner come close to authentic performance. |
