Historically Informed Performance

Historically Informed Performance (HIP), also known as period instrument performance, is a practice within classical music that strives to recreate the soundscapes of bygone eras as authentically as possible. This approach involves a meticulous study of musical sources, including composers' original manuscripts, treatises, and historical context, to inform the choice of instruments, playing techniques, and performance style. Artists specializing in HIP often play on reproductions or original instruments from the period of the music they are performing, use techniques that were prevalent at the time, and adhere to the stylistic nuances suggested by the musicological research. The result is a performance that aims to transport listeners to the time of the music's creation, offering a fresh perspective on works from the Baroque, Classical, Renaissance, and early Romantic periods.
