The Interpretation of Music is a book by Prof. Thurston Dart. It is described by the Encyclopædia Britannica as "the best direct and concise account of the issues of performance".[1]
This book deals with correct performance conventions and procedures relevant to different periods and styles (for example Gregorian intonation, divisions upon parts, French baroque over-dotting, etc.). It covers these various topics in a chronological order, also giving descriptions of period instruments and their uses. It is a book useful for those wishing to compose in a more authentic antiquated style, and for those wishing to make performances more historically "correct".
