This review is from: Baroque Music: Style and Performance: A Handbook (Paperback)
I bought this as a text to a class on Baroque Performance Practice. Along with brilliant lectures from my Professor Dr. Timothy Howard, this book was exactly what it took to bring a rounded, informed, and accurate base on which to interpret my Baroque repetoire. Highly recommend, the beginning and end of Baroque interpretation.

This review is from: Baroque Music: Style and Performance: A Handbook (Paperback)
This is a good source to get anyone started on their way performing in a "period" manner. The only drawback is more recent research and advances in style make large portions of this book seem dated and even quaint.

This review is from: Baroque Music: Style and Performance: A Handbook (Paperback)
Self I'm guitar player and baroque music lover. After I started to read (study) Donington's book I was surpised how bad and wrong I was playing Bach, Kapseberger, Sanz, Murcia and other baroque composer. And I have conservatory studies!!! Even tecnichal problem with the instrument has been solved. It is so important to know how to frase well in order to make the playing enyojable. The book also gives you a lot of literature to continue digging in the baroque era. You just want to know more and more. Nothing better to discover that you really don't know anything to let you feel the hunger of knowledge.
