Description
Book SynopsisJulian Dodd offers an original approach to the controversial concept of authenticity in musical performance. He argues that the fundamental norm is not historical authenticity but interpretive authenticity: being faithful to the work by evincing a profound, far-reaching, or sophisticated understanding of it.
Trade ReviewDodd does an excellent job laying out the parameters of the debate. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. * P. Jenkins, Marywood University, CHOICE *
Being True to Works of Music is a brilliantly written monograph on musical authenticity that, definitely, constitutes an inescapable point of reference in the literature...The book offers a great opportunity to rethink central aspects on musical ontology, appreciation, and meaning. * Nemesio García-Carril Puy, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism *
