5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opening, March 28, 2008
By Matt Peters (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated but good a good place to start, June 23, 2008
By J. F. Lee (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
