Abstract First published in the Spanish periodical Anuario Musical, vols. XXVIII-XXIX, 1973 & 1974 (Barcelona, 1976), professor Kastner's article presents one of the most thorough and succinct studies on the interpretation of sixteenth and seventeenth century Iberian keyboard music. Its content has been drawn from extant theoretical sources coupled with the more than forty years of personal experience and keen insight of Macario Santiago Kastner, one of the major Hispanicists and musicologists of this century. Though dealing within the narrow frame of two Iberian centuries, the major part of this essay is pertinent to the performance and practice of all early music.
