| Abstract
|
:
|
Twenty-three musicians and conductors discuss the early music movement, in which music is played with the styles and instruments used when the piece was originally written and performed. "Each interview [focuses] on particular composers or styles, touching on heated topics such as how historical evidence should be used, why period instruments might matter, and what 'authenticity' is."--Jacket
