The twelve essays in this volume reflect the most important trends
in the study of musical performance. Three areas are investigated:
the psychology of performance, the semantics of performance, and
the relation between performance and analysis. The first section
broaches fundamental issues such as text, expression, musical
motion and the role of practice in the acquisition of expertise.
The next four chapters address the shaping of structure and the
projection of meaning in performance, while the last four consider
performance as analytical paradigm, as dramatic narrative, as act
of criticism, as temporal process. Among the distinguished
international authorship are many accomplished performers whose
practical experience ensures that the book contains vital and
stimulating insights into the interpretation of music, and that it
will speak to a wide musical audience.
