A Performer's Guide to Seventeenth-Century Music, Second Edition by David Douglas

A comprehensive manual of performance practice for 17th century music

[A] welcome update to a highly valuable resource for the study of performance practice, and should be a staple for any collection supporting a curriculum of music history and/or historically informed approaches to performing music of the seventeenth century

* Music Reference Services Quarterly *

A Performer's Guide to Seventeenth-Century Music is an invaluable resource for both students and professional musicians: it brings musicians up to date on musical research for the period; it helps performers to see the seventeenth-century as (almost) a separate era within the Baroque.

* Mu Phi Epsilon *

There's a vast amount of information here, and considerable wisdom. Those exploring 17th-century music should buy a copy.

* Early Music Review *

Full of interest, this performer's guide sometimes seems aimed at the listener and musical historian as much as the performer.

* Classical Music *
