             However, that doesn't stop some people from trying to recreate what might have been heard. Since
             music has also been a performance tradition, classical concerts represent divergences from that
             tradition, based upon a new look at the original context of a composition. New composers

             which had previously been effectively last to us. This is, probably, the core of "early music." Music
