Title: HISTORY, IMAGINATION AND THE PERFORMANCE OF MUSIC
Description: "From the outset Peter Walls stresses the need for research driven by curiosity rather than by the desire to justify a particular approach. Arguing that a performance determined entirely by historical rules is an impossibility, he asserts that the imagination is inevitably involved. His book envisages a relationship between historical knowledge and imagination that is dynamic and stimulating."--Jacket.
