In the book "The End of Early Music," published by Oxford University Press in 2007, oboist and musicologist Bruce Haynes addresses questions about the evolution of music, its composition, performance, and listening. Drawing on his extensive practical and educational experience, he argues for the importance of engaging with the past. Particular attention is given to the social movement for historically informed performance (HIP), which gained popularity in the 1960s and has its forerunners, founders, and contemporary followers. It was HIP adherents who introduced many issues related to the understanding and practice of classical works into discourse, calling for the replication of past practices and the achievement of authentic sounding works today through the study of history, archival documents, and recordings. Paradoxically, according to Bruce Haynes, such a return to historical experience can lead to the continuation of the classical tradition of musical creativity today, an increased understanding of the classics, and the development of composition among contemporary musicians. Throughout the text, the reader is presented with multilayered discourses on the classical tradition, important distinctions between understandings of eras (Baroque, Romanticism, and modernity), the historical development of musical creativity, and illustrative examples of classical performance. This book will be useful for anyone interested in learning more about the history of instrumental music, understanding the role of composers, musicians, conductors, and audiences in the creation of works of art, and understanding the specifics of social movements in the musical sphere. It can serve as a basis for developing research hypotheses in the fields of sociology, ethnography, and anthropology of music, creativity, and historical performance in Russia.
