Performing Haydn's The Creation: Reconstructing the Earliest Renditions

by A. Peter Brown

A. Peter Brown wrote this book as he was preparing his own performance edition of The Creation, which was published by Oxford in 1995. For those interested in historically informed approaches to the piece, or in entertaining different performance options, or even in considering ways to best bring out the drama of the piece to modern audiences, this is an essential resource.

Excellent historical analysis of this work. I'm very much looking forward to performing it next year with the Salt Lake Symphony!
