Zusatztext

Alon Schab urges performers of early music to cultivate a 'historic curiosity.' His book should inspire many to do so. With well-chosen examples and lucid explanations, Schab gets readers into the inner workings of processes often taken for granted to the detriment of truly knowledgeable and committed music-making. No one who follows him on the paths he sets forth will fail to come out with greater enlightenment
