Professor Robin Stowell is an expert on early music and here offers a guide to all violinists and viola players who are interested in historically informed performance. With chapters on historical performance in context, the repertory and principal sources, equipment (including pictures of various instruments and accessories), technique, the language of musical style and historical awareness in practice, including six 17th- and 18th-century case studies, this is a perfect and comprehensive starting point.
