Historical performance practice

Historical performance practice refers to the approach of interpreting and performing music or art as it would have been done during the time it was created. This involves studying historical sources, instruments, and styles to capture the original sound and intent of a piece. Musicians and performers may use period-specific techniques, instruments, and aesthetics to recreate an authentic experience. The goal is to connect audiences with the cultural context and tradition of the work, offering a deeper understanding of its significance and the artistry of its time.
