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.

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. --Translator's foreword.
