The author replies to Julian Dodd's comments on his article "Historically Uniformed Views of Historically Informed Performance." Topics discussed include the misrepresentation of historically informed performance practice by analytic philosophy of music, the different approaches to performance which include the historically authentic and historically informed, and the realization of the artistic value of a work through performance in historical style. Also discussed are the analysis of early music movement and the contemporary style of performance.
