This book investigates the changing ways in which composers employed notation and musicians understood it between the middle of the eighteenth century and the start of the twentieth century. While explicit notational practices were increasingly the norm throughout this time, many aspects of performance-even as late as the late nineteenth century-were assumed rather than specified and it was still widely understood that much had to be read between the lines. Furthermore, during the twentieth century the intended implications of many previous notational practices were gradually forgotten and are now generally misunderstood, while others-such as continuous vibrato and the meticulous observance of vertical synchrony and notated rhythms-differ radically from anything the composer might have envisaged.
