First published in 1954, this influential volume by musicologist Thurston Dart remains a foundational guide to historically informed performance. With scholarly clarity, Dart discusses performance practice from the Renaissance to the Romantic era, encouraging musicians to consider original contexts. The Musical Times called it “a classic work that opened up new vistas for performers and students alike.”
