you can't even spell the possessive pronoun "its" correctly ->But, the elitest crowd need some intellectual justification for it's deplorable ignorance of music history...<
I guess I'm part of that "elitest crowd" you name, since I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in musicology and therefore have traveled much of the same ground as Norrington. For the most part I endorse his research and conclusions--it's all based on source material that is quite commonplace and widely accepted in academic circles. While I don't always agree with Norrington's interpretative decisions, it is entirely wrong to attack him on the supposed weakness of his historical knowledge and application thereof.
If you would like to engage in an offline discusssion with me about the treatises, organological evidence, and other original materials that Norrington cites in his liner notes and elsewhere, then I would be glad to do so.
