Its key argument is that the familiar 'authenticity debate' about the performance of such works has tended to focus on a side issue. While much has been written about the desirability (or otherwise) of historical authenticity -- roughly, performing works as they would have been performed, under ideal conditions, in the era in which they were composed -- the most fundamental norm governing our practice of work performance is, in fact, another kind of kind of truthfulness to the work altogether. This is \u003cem\u003einterpretive authenticity\u003c\/em\u003e: being faithful to the performed work by virtue of evincing a profound, far-reaching, or sophisticated understanding of it. As such, performers are justified, on occasion, in sacrificing some score compliance for the sake of making their performance more interpretively authentic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a clear, engaging style with discussion of musical examples throughout, this book will be of great interest to both philosophers of music and musicologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulian Dodd, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, University of Manchester\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJulian Dodd is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Manchester.
