Project

Final-year project is not going well. The initial idea is fine; writing it up is not so good.
Topic - presentation and environment in performances of early music.

There isn't much in the literature, which deals mainly with performance practice, instrumentation, and interpreting scores. What I'm interested in is the different approaches to presentation, ranging from full re-construction to translation of the essence into modern terms to re-create the impact.
