2011, by Andrew Parrott. A quotation from the article, to pique your interest:
"Study of performance practice aims to pinpoint conditions of performance, conventions, and stylistic developments, and so form a clearer understanding of a composer's intentions and expectations. There is, however, disagreement about which departures, if any, from the accepted style and taste are desirable or necessary."
