Being True to Works of Music explores the varieties of authenticity
involved in our practice of performing works of Western classical
music. Its key argument is that the familiar 'authenticity debate'
about the performance of such works has tended to focus on a side
issue. While much has been written about the desirability (or
otherwise) of historical authenticity - roughly, performing works
as they would have been performed, under ideal conditions, in the
era in which they were composed - the most fundamental norm
governing our practice of work performance is, in fact, another
kind of kind of truthfulness to the work altogether. This is
interpretive authenticity: being faithful to the performed work by
virtue of evincing a profound, far-reaching, or sophisticated
understanding of it. As such, performers are justified, on
occasion, in sacrificing some score compliance for the sake of
making their performance more interpretively authentic. Written in
a clear, engaging style with discussion of musical examples
throughout, this book will be of great interest to both
philosophers of music and musicologists.
