Sure to become a standard resource in its field.' Jane Stevens, DYALEUNIVERSITY The eighteen witty and provocative essays in this collection spanperformance issues in music from Vivaldi and Bach to Mozart and Haydn.Two survey the early music movement and the creed of authenticity,two ornamentation in the music of Haydn,and one performance problemsin music of Mozart. Other essays argue for contextual examinationof binary and ternary rhythmic conflicts, refute the attempt to universalise the application of the French principle of notes in�gales, question the historical `justification' for nonvibrato singing and playing of early music, and challenge the practice of literal interpretation of ornament tables.
