A Note on Edlting and Performance Pracdce

Most Baroqueand earlyClassical composerswrote few dynamics,articulation,or other performance


indicationsin their scores.Interpretationwas left up to the performer,with the expectationthat the
performance practicewas understood. Eveninto the l9th centurycomposersscorescould varyirom
copy to copy or edition to edition. The editorc of Celebrotion have consulted original
