Description

NY: Schirmer Books. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. First Printing. Hardcover. 0028733002 . xiii, 605pp, index, abbreviations, notes, bibliography. Music written before 1800 is performed today in the context of an ever-intensifying concern with historical sound and style, a concern that has led to an explosion of research on the performance practices of various periods. This encyclopedic study presents a synthesis of current knowledge about what Frederick Neumann calls the "tactical issues of interpretation" - tempo, rhythm, dynamics, articulation, phrasing, ornamentation - as applied to the music of the Baroque and Classical periods. (from the front jacket) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
