From dust jacket notes: "For professional and amateur musicians who want to perform the music of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, and other composers of the period, Baroque Music provides a clear, readable guide to the standard repertoire - and more - examining more of the major Baroque works in detail than any other book ever published. With wit and clarity, Victor Rangel-Ribeiro draws on the writings of C.P.E. Bach, J.J. Quantz, G._l Telemann, Francesco Geminiani, Leopold Mozart, and Giuseppe Tartini to offer advice to instrumentalists, singers, and conductors seeking to cope with the difficult aspects of eighteenth-century German, Italian, and English Baroque masterworks. Baroque Music shows how to: interpret Baroque ornaments; provide ornamentation where composers provide only a bare melody; accompany from a 'figured bass'; apply Baroque performance practices to the works of individual composers; synthesize and apply knowledge of Baroque music to bring freshness to works in the standard repertoire, as well as to works that may be less familiar. Moving from relatively simple material to more complex works, the performer is continually made aware of the effects of chronology and national milieu on performance and is encouraged to apply all the knowledge he or she acquires directly to the music being performed...."
