The ten essays in this volume explore different aspects of the
performance of instrumental works by Beethoven. Each essay
discusses performance issues from Beethoven's time to the present,
whether the objective be to realise a performance in an
historically appropriate manner, to elucidate the interpretation of
Beethoven's music by conductors and performers, to clarify
transcriptions by editors or to reconstruct the experience of the
listener in various different periods. Four contributions focus on
the piano music while another group concentrates on Beethoven's
music for strings. These chapters are complemented by an
examination of Beethoven's exploitation of the developing wind
choir, an evaluation of early twentieth-century recordings as
pointers to early nineteenth-century performance practice and an
historical survey of rescorings in Beethoven's symphonies.
