The Notation Is Not the Music: Reflections on Early Music Practice and Performance


Add your own review!

Overview

Written by a leading authority and artist of the historical transverse flute, The Notation Is Not the Music offers invaluable insight into the issues of historically informed performance and the parameters-and limitations-of notation-dependent performance. As Barthold Kuijken 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.

Reviews

<p> Kuijken is peerless. He is a professional musician and the apotheosis of historical flute playing, who utilizes musicology in his broader goal of moving the hearts of his listeners. --Barbara Kallaur, founding member of Ensemble Voltaire and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra--Barbara Kallaur, founding member of Ensemble Voltaire and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra
