Reminds me of a line from Ray Nurse's LSA lecture on Dowland. He asked how we 
would even know whether we played a piece exactly as Dowland intended. Would 
Dowland appear in a puff of pink smoke and place a gold star on our lute? 
Conversely, if we play him badly, will he haunt us in our nightmares?

Sorry Rene if our performance practice has offended you. Just be happy that 
over 300 years later, people are still playing your music!
