"To make the melody more pleasing," according to several French writers during the first half of the eighteenth century, subtle rhythmic distortions, various articulation practices, and specific but tasteful ornamentations were used. What were these special practices and how were they employed? How did meter affect tempo, style, and expression? How was this expression articulated in the unequal performance of equally-written quick notes? How did various articulation patterns further bring out the character of the piece? How were ornaments employed for emphasis, to clarify structure, to enhance feeling? Why, where, and how these devices were used is the province of this book. - Preface.
