“…71] holds the opinion that in "retroactive consideration" the single stroke ornament signs were "probably associated also with one-note graces" which from our point of view is more than likely. Regrettably in this special article dedicated by Hunter to the study of "The Application of (Ornamental) Strokes in English Virginalist Music" the author arguments his point of view applying to the most important historical data found in François de Prendcourt's "The Marks in this Book…", which were preserved in MS and copied by Roger North (detailed information on Prendcourt is available in the publications by Michael Tilmouth [27] and Edward T. Corp [28]). In an attempt to confirm his idea that the single stroke could be realized as a slide, Hunter turns to "Prendcourt's interpretation of graces (c1700). "…”

The focus of the article is centered on the problems of performing ornaments in English virginal music of the Elizabethan and several first decades of Post-Elizabethan time. The paper presents a comparative analysis of information from historical sources, representing the views of early British virginalists regarding the methods and rules which deal with the interpretation of the unique, for that period, ornament signs. Special attention is given to the MS Res. 1186 located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Historically, the situation was such that except for information from the MS materials by Edward Bevin (c1630), science did not have any information directly related to the execution of virginal ornamentation. A critical review is undertaken of the scientific literature of the 19 th-21 st centuries, devoted to the interpretation of early English virginal music, as well as the review of information from reference and encyclopedic literature. Numerous inaccuracies, discrepancies and even serious errors in the interpretation and presentation of materials from early sources by modern researchers are revealed. As a result a generalization is provided in which it is stated that there are many possibilities for performing virginal ornaments marked by double oblique strokes, but not playing them from the above auxiliary note except in the cadential (semi-and quasi-cadential) contexts. The article also examines the possible correlations between performing principles of English virginalists and the practical recommendations from the well known Spanish, Italian, German and French treatises from the analyzed period.

“…In contemporary musicology this spelling is used by Martin C. Burton [7], i. e. the date when scholars began to turn to the handwritten materials of Prendcourt. However, the arguments given in the articles by Michael Tilmouth [8] and Edward T. Corp [9] convincingly show that his last name should be written as Prendcourt. 4 This title is found among the vast material collected by John Wilson and published in his work on Roger North [6, p. 362].…”

The closer the study of the problems of executing ornaments in England comes to the eighteenth century, the more various scientific materials become available and the more connections are found with the continental countries of Europe. Among the many publications, it was necessary to refer to a large number of instructions books designed for learning to play various instruments, including the harpsichord, such as “The Harpsichord Master”, Playford’s publications of “An Introduction to the Skill of Music” (issued during 1694 and 1730), “The delightful companion, or, Choice new lessons for the recorder or flute” (published by Robert Carr), “The Compleat Tutor to the Hautboy; or the Art of Playing on that Instrument” (published by J. Walsh) and many other. Along with this, the number of publications devoted to the study of this period is constantly increasing in the 20th and 21st centuries. In this article, a task is undertaken devoted, on the one hand, to a comprehensive consideration of the mentioned materials, on the other hand, a critical assessment is devoted to their later scientific study. As a “starting” point the “Short, easy, & plain rules” of Cap. Prendcourt (c1700) supplied with an ornamentation table are taken. The realizations of ornaments from Prendcourt are studied in the context of English, French and German sources of that period. It is namely this angle of study which forced the authors to resort to scrupulous and detailed consideration of the many subtleties associated with the execution of various ornaments.
