Written by a leading authority and artist of the historical transverse flute, The Notation Is Not the Music offers invaluable insight into the issues of historically informed performance and the parameters-and limitations-of notation-dependent performance. As Barthold Kuijken illustrates, performers of historical music should consider what is written on the page as a mere steppingstone for performance. Only by continual examination and reexamination of the sources to discover original intent can an early music practitioner come close to authentic performance.

Reviews for The Notation Is Not the Music: Reflections on Early Music Practice and Performance

<p> Kuijken is peerless. He is a professional musician and the apotheosis of historical flute playing, who utilizes musicology in his broader goal of moving the hearts of his listeners. --Barbara Kallaur, founding member of Ensemble Voltaire and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra--Barbara Kallaur, founding member of Ensemble Voltaire and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra
