Practice in Context, Gebunden

Klappentext

Many of the best known and most regularly performed works of the Western Classical Music canon were written in the nineteenth century. Although this repertoire is loved by audiences and performers, nineteenth-century historical performance style is rarely heard today even when performances are given by professional 'period' instrument performers and specialist conductors.Practice in Context brings together scholars and performer / scholars who are interested in how historical research can contribute to greater understanding of the musical priorities and artistic decision-making processes when performing nineteenth-century pieces.
