Books by Mary Cyr

Addresses the needs of researchers, performers, and informed listeners who wish to apply knowledge about historically informed performance to specific pieces. This title emphasises on the period 1680 to 1760, when the viol, violin, and violoncello grew to prominence as solo instruments in France.

Provides listeners, performers, students and teachers with the analytical tools they need to understand and interpret musical evidence from the baroque era. This book includes scores for eleven works, many reproduced in facsimile to illustrate the conventions of 17th and 18th century notation.
