Performing Music History offers a unique perspective on music
history and performance through a series of conversations with
women and men intimately associated with music performance,
history, and practice: the musicians themselves. Fifty-five
celebrated artists-singers, pianists, violinists, cellists,
flutists, horn players, oboists, composers, conductors, and jazz
greats-provide interviews that encompass most of Western music
history, from the Middle Ages to contemporary classical music,
avant-garde innovations, and Broadway musicals. The book covers
music history through lenses that include "authentic" performance,
original instrumentation, and social context. Moreover, the
musicians interviewed all bring to bear upon their respective
subjects three outstanding qualities: 1) their high esteem in the
music world as immediately recognizable names among musicians and
public alike; 2) their energy and devotion to scholarship and the
recovery of endangered musical heritages; and 3) their considerable
skills, media savvy, and showmanship as communicators. Introductory
essays to each chapter provide brief synopses of historical eras
and topics. Combining careful scholarship and lively conversation,
Performing Music History explores historical contexts for a host of
fascinating issues.
