In this collection of essays, Mary Cyr explores some of the written and unwritten performance conventions that applied to French and English music of the seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries. Using composers' own notations, marks added by eighteenth-century performers, historical treatises, and pictorial evidence, she investigates both vocal and instrumental genres, including opera, cantatas, instrumental chamber music, and solo music for the viol and violin.
