Interpretation

This bibliography covers a range of topics concerning the interpretation of music arranged under a number of useful headings. It will be of general interest to musicians who find themselves playing baroque and pre-baroque works. However, the focus is largely on the literature of relevance to recorder players. A more convenient and flexible way of exploring it is via the Zotero citation database underlying this site. The Zotero interface is straightforward to use and allows you to export selected entries in a variety of formats and to create your own citation lists in a range of journal styles. All you need is your web-browser. This will be of particular assistance to students and researchers.
