In the last ten years or so an interest in 'authenticity' has
reached a wide public. Many of the best-selling records of Bach,
Handel, Haydn and Mozart are those in which period techniques and
period instruments are used. There is however a danger that new
'authentic' dogmas of style and interpretation will come to replace
the anachronistic dogmas of the late romantic tradition. 'The
search for an 'authentic' interpretation', writes Peter le Huray in
his opening chapter, 'is not the search for a single hard and fast
answer, but for a range of possibilities from which to make
performing decisions.' This book introduces the performer to the
problems that must be faced when preparing an 'authentic'
interpretation. It does so by focusing on nine representative and
well-known works from the Baroque and Classical periods, defining
some of the more important questions that the performer and
listener should ask, and suggesting fruitful lines of enquiry. It
is essential reading and reference material for player, student and
listener alike.
