Performance Practice: Music After 1600 (Norton/Grove Handbooks in Music)

This handbook, an entirely new work, is not simply another guide to the performance of music of the past; it is, rather, a book about the study of past performance. Each main section - Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Twentieth Century - contains an introduction dealing with contexts of performance as well as sources and theory. This is followed by detailed discussions of vocal and instrumental performance.Howard Mayer Brown is the author of 'Performance Practice: Music After 1600 (Norton/Grove Handbooks in Music)' with ISBN 9780393028089 and ISBN 0393028089.
