“LOOK AGAIN” | ONLINE SEMINAR | 5 November
discussions, lectures, performances and research presentations on renewed approaches and recent (re)discoveries on the performance practices of late 17th and early 18th century Italian music.
​
​
The ethos of early music demands a considerable amount of continuous research on the practices of the past, as most aspects of performance are not notated, and the understanding and usage of what is notated has changed considerably over time. Constant questioning and curiosity keeps us in a space of exploration rather than consolidation. Questions such as “is this actually true?” and “can I really say/do that?” are recurring, and, although these are not always fully or definitively answerable, we find it important to keep asking, going back to a variety of sources and (partially) answering over and over again. What can we (re)learn about the performance practices of late 17th and early 18th-century Italian music by going back to the sources?
​​
We invite scholars, performers, students and teachers interested in historical performance practices to participate, by presenting or joining the discussions.
