Q. What is Early Music performance, or historical performance?
A. We play on instruments from the time of the composers, and we use the original music and playing techniques: it’s a special sound.

Q. Why are there no conductors?
A. Conductors weren’t invented until the 19th century; since we seek to recreate a historical performance, the music is led from the keyboard or violin, or the music is played as chamber music~or both 

Q. What are period instruments or original instruments; how are they different from modern instruments?
A. As instruments became modernized in the 19th century, builders and players tended to focus on the volume of sound and the stability of tuning. Modern steel strings replaced the older materials, and instruments were often machine made. Historical instruments, built individually by hand and with overall lighter construction, have extremely complex overtones—which we find delightful. Modern instruments are of course perfectly suited to more modern music.

Q. Why is the pitch lower, or higher?
In 1705, eager to make his mark as a composer of both opera and instrumental music, the young Vivaldi published his first set of twelve trio sonatas as Opus 1. The last sonata, which is a highly virtuosic set of variations on the "La Follia" dance pattern (titled only "Follia" in the print), is one of his most famous works; Vivaldi takes Corelli's variations on the same theme-and-bass pattern from Corelli's Opus 5 (1700), which was already a famous work, and adds figuration of even greater complexity.

A wonderful, rousing performance of La Follia, by Vivaldi. The dancers turn a baroque music into an almost flamenco dance. It's unbelievable how a church may be transformed. Besides, "Follia" allows to be interpretated madly. Grazie per questa splendida, travolgente esecuzione.

We were in Venice last month and heard this played in a concert by Interpreti Veneziani. A superb group of baroque musicians. This group of musicians and dancers are remarkable also. I love Baroque music.

Yrs ago (well, decades) I dated a dance critic in NYC. She took me to a concert of early ballet which evolved into what we know now. This brings back that pleasant moment. Thank you performers and musicians!
